"Because oil and water don't mix, the oil wets the particles and creates capillary bridges between them
so that the particles stick together on contact, "said Orlin Velev, INVISTA Professor of Chemical and Biomolecular engineering at NC State and the corresponding author of the paper."
Chilling the oil is like drying the sandcastle. Reducing the temperature from 45 degrees Celsius to 15 degrees Celsius freezes the oil

#Nature-inspired nanotechnology mesh captures oil but lets water through (Nanowerk News) The unassuming piece of stainless steel mesh in a lab at The Ohio State university doesn't look like a very big deal,
but oil doesn't, thanks to a nearly invisible oil-repelling coating on its surface. In tests, researchers mixed water with oil and poured the mixture onto the mesh.
The water filtered through the mesh to land in a beaker below. The oil collected on top of the mesh
and rolled off easily into a separate beaker when the mesh was tilted. This mesh, which is covered in a coating invented at The Ohio State university, captures oil (red) while water (blue) passes through.

In addition, they asked the participants what kind of frying fat/oils they usually used at home, with the possible responses as follows:
Frying deteriorates oils through the processes of oxidation and hydrogenation, leading to an increase in the absorption of oil degradation products by the foods being fried,
and also a loss of unsaturated fatty acids such as linoleic and linolenic acids and an increase in the corresponding trans fatty acids such as trans-linoleic acids and trans-linolenic acids."
"Deterioration of oils during frying is more profound when the oils are reused, a practice more common away from home than at home.
This may partly explain why we observed a stronger association of GDM risk with fried foods consumed away from home than fried foods consumed at home."
