This study has focused on the chemical changes which occurred in the oils which were subjected to repeated heatings by the female sidewalk vendors in Lome. In addition, a comparison was made between the oils used by the street vendors and the oils used in restaurants and hotels. The results show that iodine values are low suggesting a destruction of unsaturation. Peroxide values indicate the oxidation state of oils subjected to frying.
