  • More about Processing Contaminants in Edible Oils: MCPD and Glycidyl Esters


Processing Contaminants in Edible Oils, 2nd edition, provides the latest research on monochloropropanediol (MCPD) and glycidyl esters in edible oils, which are formed during deodorization and can be harmful. It reviews the mechanisms of formation, possible precursor molecules, and strategies for decreasing their concentrations, including removal of precursor molecules before processing, modifications of deodorization protocol, and removal of contaminants after processing.

Processing Contaminants in Edible Oils, 2nd edition, delves into the latest research on the presence of monochloropropanediol (MCPD) and glycidyl esters in edible oils. These potentially harmful contaminants arise during the industrial processing of food oils during deodorization, posing significant risks to human health. Since the first edition's publication, significant advancements have been made in understanding these contaminants. This comprehensive guide highlights these important changes, which impact industrial mitigation, analytical methods, toxicology, and regulation.

The formation mechanisms of MCPD and glycidyl ester contaminants, as well as research identifying possible precursor molecules, are thoroughly reviewed. Strategies employed to decrease the concentrations of these contaminants are explored, encompassing a range of approaches. These methods include the removal of precursor molecules before processing, modifications of deodorization protocols, and techniques for removing these contaminants after the completion of processing.

The text emphasizes the importance of mitigating and eliminating contaminants in edible oils to ensure food safety and consumer health. It serves as a valuable resource for researchers, industry professionals, and regulatory bodies involved in the production, processing, and regulation of edible oils. By staying informed about the latest research and best practices, stakeholders can work towards reducing the levels of MCPD and glycidyl esters in edible oils and ensuring the safety of the food supply.
