In
this study, it was aimed to determine 3-MCPD and glycidyl ester levels in 9
types (46 brands) of edible fat and oil offered for sale in markets located in
Türkiye. 3-MCPD and glycidyl ester levels were determined by the DGF (Deutsche
Gesellschaft für Fettwissenschaft; German Society for Fat Science) C VI 18
(10) method. The highest levels of 3-MCPD and glycidyl esters were detected in
hazelnut oils, riviera olive oils, margarines, and shortenings. As expected,
these esters were not observed in extra-virgin olive oils, while they were
detected at low levels in fish oils. The highest 3-MCPD ester levels were found
in the range of 0.06-2.12 mg kg-1 in hazelnut oil, 0.16-1.69 mg kg-1
in riviera olive oils, and 0.17-1.17 mg kg-1 in
margarines. The highest glycidyl esters were found in the shortenings in the
range of 1.98-6.46 mg kg-1. This was followed by hazelnut oil
(0.54-2.63 mg kg-1) and riviera olive oil (0.19-3.53 mg kg-1).
