Published: September 2011

An LC-MS method using a single quadrupole mass spectrometer was developed for direct analysis of glycidyl esters of fatty acids in vegetable oils. Without any sample clean-up, this method provided acceptable recovery of seven glycidyl esters, comparable results to a previously-published method utilizing two solid-phase extraction steps, and consistent detection parameters after greater than 200 injections without any cleaning operations performed. This method could readily be implemented as a screening assay for glycidyl esters in most oil laboratories.

Cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE) is applied in most advanced high-voltage direct-current (HVDC) power cable insulations, which are produced via dicumyl peroxide (DCP) technology. The electrical conductivity of insulation material can be increased by cross-linking byproducts from the DCP process. Hence, currently much attention is being paid to a new process to produce cross-linking byproduct-free XLPE.

A chiral porous organic polymer (cPOP) was synthesized through nucleophilic substitution polymerization between dichloromaleimide and aromatic amine. This cPOP was used as a new chiral stationary phase (CSP) for gas chromatography (GC) chiral separation. In this work, we first used this cPOP as the CSP for gas chromatography to investigate its ability to separate racemic mixtures, including amino acid derivatives, chiral alcohols, aldehydes, alkanes, ketones, esters, and organic acids.

The increasing complexity of food production and processing has raised concerns regarding food process contaminants, which pose significant public health risks. Food process contaminants can be introduced during diverse phases of food processing such as drying, heating, grilling, and fermentation, resulting in the synthesis of harmful chemicals including acrylamide (AA), advanced glycation end products (AGEs), heterocyclic aromatic amines (HAAs), furan and its naturally occurring derivatives, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), N-nitroso compounds (NOCs), 2-chloropropane-1,2-diol esters (2-MCPDE), and 3-chloropropane-1,2-diol esters (3-MCPDE), ethyl carbamate (EC), glycidyl esters (GE), and 4-methylimidazole (4-MEI), all of these are harmful to human health. Although these compounds can be somewhat prevented during processing, eliminating them can often be challenging due to their unknown formation mechanism.

Article Synopsis
  • 3-MCPD and its esters, which can cause cancer and genetic damage, are harmful contaminants found in refined oils and fatty foods due to high-temperature processing.
  • Initially discovered in 1978 in flavor-enhancing proteins, these substances form during the deodorization phase of oil refining, with glycidol also identified as a possible carcinogen.
  • The review covers how these contaminants affect human health, their formation mechanisms, detection methods, and the latest strategies to minimize their presence in food production.
