Heating Vegetable Oil to Frying Temps Forms Toxic Compound New research by a University of Minnesota professor and a graduate student shows that when highly unsaturated vegetable oils are heated at frying temperature (365 F) for extended periods–or even for half an hour–a highly toxic compound, HNE (4-hydroxy-trans-2-nonenal) forms in the oil. A. Saari Csallany, professor of food chemistry and nutritional biochemistry at U. of Minn. said “HNE is a well known, highly toxic compound that is easily absorbed from the diet. The toxicity arises because the compound is highly reactive with proteins, nucleic acids–DNA and RNA–and other biomolec ...
