A novel method for the automatic sample preparation and analysis of 3-MCPD-, 2-MCPD-, and glycidylesters in edible oils and fats

摘要

Currently, there are three official AOCS indirect methods for the detection and quantification of 2- and 3-chloropropane-1,2-diol-(2-MCPDe/3-MCPDe) and glycidyl esters (GE). The complete analysis for methods which allow separate detection and quantification of these three analytes is time consuming (>16 h) and because of extensive manual sample preparation, the chances for error are significant and well-trained analysts are required for correct and reproducible results.
