Samples of frying cottonseed oil were used for frying samples of falafel,
potato fingers (French fries) and pieces of prosted chicken. These popular food
were collected from ten areas of the local markets of Damascus city during the
year 2011.
Ten samples of dry, cooked Chickpea, Homos with Tahina, and Falafel were
randomly collected from different places in Damascus and urban side during

composition, amino acids, fatty
acids, and minerals were determined to
investigate the effect of cooking and frying on the nutritional value of chickpea
