A matlab-based graphical user interface (GUI) to predict the food quality during frying process

The phenomena of heat and mass transfer are occur during deep frying process due to physicochemical changes that affects the colour and moisture content of food quality. The inconsistent quality of fried foods makes it gruelling to fabricate luscious and satisfying fried foods at all times. Therefor...
