Food Safety Analysis – Refined Risk

In the refining process for edible oils conditions must be carefully controlled to avoid the formation of toxic process contaminants, such as 2-MCPD, 3-MCPD, glycidol and their fatty acid esters. An automated GC/MS-method now enables highly efficient determination of these compounds based on standard methods such as ISO 18363-1, AOCS Cd 29c-13, and DGF C-VI 18 (10).
