TS194: Total Chloride Content Analysis in Crude Palm Oil and Secondary Oils
The 3-monochloro-1,2-propanediolesters (3-MCPDE) are chemical food contaminants that are carcinogenic.The 3-MCPDE is formed due to high deodorisation temperature at there fining stage of crude palm oil (CPO). The primary precursor for 3-MCPDE formation is chloride which is present in the plantation and mill where it gets into the palm oil. Sources of chloride are water, […]
