Does palm oil have 3 mcpde?
Food safety officials have recently focused their attention on vegetable oil, including palm oil, due to the presence of 3-monochloro-1, 2-propanediol and related esters (3-MCPDE). The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) proposed to limit the 3-MCPDE in palm oil to 2.5 ppm by year 2021.
Is a 3-mcpde mitigation strategy possible in palm oil processing?
Although the 3-MCPDE is formed during refining, chlorinated compounds are detected in palm fruits and CPO in the estate and oil mill. Therefore, an integrated mitigation strategy across palm oil processing could be a promising approach to address the 3-MCPDE issue.
How to remove 3-mcpde and GE from palm oil refineries?
Post-refining treatment using specific adsorbents is also applied to remove the 3-MCPDE and GE. However, palm oil refineries have to apply combination of several mitigation strategies to adequately reduce the levels of 3-MCPDE and GE, including using good quality of CPO with low FFA, chloride, and oxidized components content.
How much 3mcpde is in palm oil?
For all of 2021, the maximum content of 3MCPDE in processed palm kernel oil is 1.25 ppm and in processed palm oil 2.5 ppm. Starting January 1, 2022, the maximum content of 3MCPDE in processed palm oil will decrease from 2.5 ppm to 1.25 ppm for integrated refineries, exporters and importers.
How to reduce MCPD in palm oil refining process?
This can be done with a simple acid degumming process. However, the most reliable option, even for the worst oil qualities, is chemical instead of physical refining. The mitigation of 3-MCPD is essential for acceptance of palm oil. GEA offers process solutions for minimization in the oil mill but also in the refining process.
When will 3mcpde change in palm oil?
Starting January 1, 2022, the maximum content of 3MCPDE in processed palm oil will decrease from 2.5 ppm to 1.25 ppm for integrated refineries, exporters and importers. However, for independent refineries, the effective date will be 1 January 2023.
