Mitigation Studies Based on the Contribution of Chlorides and Acids to the Formation of 3-MCPD, 2-MCPD, and Glycidyl Esters in Palm Oil Renan G. Tivanello, Maisa F. Capristo, Fernanda M. Leme, Roseli A. Ferrari, Klicia A. Sampaio, Adriana P. Arisseto, Eduardo Vicente ACS Food Science and Technology, 2021 This study aimed to evaluate the influence of chloride ions and acids on the formation of 3-MCPD, 2-MCPD, and glycidyl esters in palm oil as well as the use of metals, adsorbents, salts, amino acids, and anhydrous ethanol to simultaneously mitigate the levels of the compounds during deodorization. The concentrations of 3-MCPD and 2-MCPD esters increased more sharply in the presence of chloride (hydrochloric acid or sodium chloride). The use of zinc oxide caused a small reduction (8.5%) in 3-MCPD esters, whereas metallic zinc favored the formation of all contaminants. The levels of the substances were significantly reduced in the presence of potassium acetate (up to 98.7%), and the use of glycine decreased the concentration of chloropropanols esters by 43.8%. Anhydrous ethanol used as a stripping agent reduced the levels of 3-MCPD, 2-MCPD, and glycidyl esters by 49%, 54%, and 31%, respectively, indicating a promising strategy to mitigate these contaminants.
Effects of deodorization temperature and time on the formation of 3-MCPD, 2-MCPD, and glycidyl esters and physicochemical changes of palm oil Renan Tivanello, Maisa Capristo, Eduardo Vicente, Roseli Ferrari, Klicia Sampaio, Adriana Arisseto Journal of Food Science, 2020 This study verified the formation profile of esters of 3‐monochloropropane‐1,2‐diol (3‐MCPDE), 2‐monochloropropane‐1,2‐diol (2‐MCPDE), and glycidol (GE), and evaluated the physicochemical changes (free‐fatty acid, acylglycerols, and colour) that occurred during the deodorization of palm oil in different conditions of time (30, 60, 90, and 120 min) and temperature (210, 230, 250, and 270 °C). Levels of 3‐MCPD and 2‐MCPD esters ranged from 1.91 to 2.70 mg/kg and 0.68 to 1.44 mg/kg, respectively, and were formed at the mildest tested condition (210 °C, 30 min). No correlation was observed between these contaminants and physicochemical changes. GE levels varied from 0.12 to 8.51 mg/kg and showed correlation with color and diacylglycerol content. While the temperature had little influence on the formation of esters of 3‐MCPD and 2‐MCPD, the content of GE considerably raised above 250 °C.
CHAPTER 5: Strategies to Mitigate MCPD and Glycidyl Esters in Refined Oils and Foods Willian Cruzeiro Silva, Roseli Aparecida Ferrari, Eduardo Vicente, Klicia Araujo Sampaio, Adriana Pavesi Arisseto Food Chemistry Function and Analysis, 2020 The formation of toxic compounds that are potentially carcinogenic during food processing has been considered an important food safety issue. Among them, particular attention has been given to 3-monochloropropane-1,2-diol esters (3-MCPDE), 2-monochloropropane-1,3-diol esters (2-MCPDE) and glycidyl esters (GE), which can be formed during edible oil refining, especially in palm oil. These contaminants can also occur in a variety of processed foods and the highest concentrations have been found in those that use refined oils in their formulation. 3-MCPDE, 2-MCPDE and GE are formed at high temperatures mainly in the deodorization step of the edible oils refining process, and different mechanisms have been suggested. So far, several strategies have been proposed to mitigate these contaminants in edible oils, including the removal of precursors from the oil prior to deodorization, modifications of processing parameters, the addition of refining aids to prevent the formation of the contaminants during processing, and degradation or removal of the contaminants formed in the refined oil. Moreover, strategies to minimize the contamination of fried foods due to oil uptake during frying have been investigated.
What is on the menu for frugivorous birds in the cerrado? Fruiting phenology and nutritional traits highlight the importance of habitat complementarity Pietro Kiyoshi Maruyama, Celine Melo, Camila Pascoal, Eduardo Vicente, João Custódio Fernandes Cardoso, Vinícius Lourenço Garcia Brito, Paulo Eugênio Oliveira Acta Botanica Brasilica, 2019 The relationship between plants and frugivorous animals is modulated by morphological and nutritional characteristics of fruits, as well as their seasonal availability across habitats. We evaluated fruiting phenology, fruit morphology and nutritional characteristics of 35 abundant plant species from 15 families associated with frugivorous birds from distinct habitats in the Cerrado (savanna, forest, and palm swamp). For a subset of 16 plant species, we also evaluated the overlap in interactions with frugivorous birds using data from the literature. Open-habitat plants had their fruiting peak during the rainy season, while fruiting of forest species was evenly distributed across the year. Plants of the same family exhibited similar fruit morphology and nutritional characteristics. Most plants had fruits with more sugars than lipids, while all species with higher lipid content were from savanna habitats and produced fruits during the rainy season, the peak reproductive season for birds. Assemblages of frugivorous birds exhibited considerable overlap, irrespective of habitat or fruiting season of plants. The complementarity found among habitats, considering seasonal availability and nutritional profile of fruits for frugivorous birds, is relevant for community maintenance and regeneration. Therefore, this landscape level complexity should always be considered in conservation and restoration policies for the Cerrado.
Washing bleached palm oil to reduce monochloropropanediols and glycidyl esters Willian Cruzeiro Silva, Jéssika Karolline Santiago, Maisa Freitas Capristo, Roseli Aparecida Ferrari, Eduardo Vicente, Klicia Araujo Sampaio, Adriana Pavesi Arisseto Food Additives and Contaminants Part A Chemistry Analysis Control Exposure and Risk Assessment, 2019 The formation of toxic compounds, potentially carcinogenic, during food processing has been considered an important food safety issue. Among them, particular attention has been given to 3-monochloropropane-1,2-diol esters (3-MCPDE), 2-monochloropropane-1,3-diol esters (2-MCPDE) and glycidyl esters (GE), which can be formed during vegetable oil refining, especially palm oil. These substances may pose a health risk to humans due to their toxicity and carcinogenicity. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of washing bleached palm oil (BPO) with different solvents, and evaluate the reduction of 3-MCPDE, 2-MCPDE and GE as well as assess the quality parameters of the final product. For this purpose, we used two types of washing with different solvents. A single washing was carried out in one step and a double washing in two steps using a solvent gradient. Single washing had a limited reduction in the levels of 3-MCPDE and 2-MCPDE and resulted in an increased level of GE, whereas double washing slightly reduced 3-MCPDE and 2-MCPDE and resulted in a significant reduction of GE levels. The reduction achieved in this study was up to 17.1% for 3-MCPDE, 56.4% for 2-MCPDE and 76.9% for GE levels. The reduction of 3-MCPDE and 2-MCPDE might be due to the removal of part of the ethanol-soluble chlorinated precursors from the oil which suggests that highly lipophilic forms of these substances are present in BPO. The substantial reduction on GE levels might be associated with the removal of the precursors present in the oil such as diacylglycerols. Thus, the washing treatment could be used as a supplementary strategy to reduce processing contaminants from palm oil, especially GEs.
