Minimization of mineral oil compounds in edible oils and fats
Project
Project code: MRI-GE-08-324-1080 MOH-Minimierung
Contract period: 01.09.2017
- 31.08.2020
Purpose of research: Applied research
Mineral oil hydrocarbons (MOH), which are evaluated partially as of toxicological concern, are detected in many foods, especially in edible oils, too. These MOH enter in multiple ways the production chain during preparation of edible oils. Actually, they can only be partially removed by the refining process. This problem is aggravated by the fact that oils accumulate and even concentrate MOH due to their chemical characteristics from the environment. The sources for carry over shall be identified and assessed. The analytic methods shall be improved and possibilities to minimize MOH during the course of refining shall be optimized.
