In order to improve the defects of easy smashed properties while taro was cooking in a chafing pot, the experiments of processing of taro were conducted at Taoyuan DAIS. Taros were divided into three parts, head, middle, and tail sections, then deep-fat frying treatments were undertaken for 1 to 14 minutes at the temperature of 120, 130, 140, 150, 160, 170 and 180˚C. The results indicated that moisture contents and hardness of taro decreased followed by the increasing of oil temperature. Longer deep-fat frying time did not improve the taro qualities from property of easy smashed to property of solid. The shorter the time of deep-fat frying was, the better the quality of taro was. The results of five minutes deep-fat frying at 150˚C or 160˚C indicated that the taro is difficult to smash for cook when the water content was low. The head section of taro had the best shape keeping ability, and the middle section of taro was the second. The tail section of taro was easier to go smashing.
