Abstract
3-Monochloropropanediol esters (3-MCPDEs) are contaminants formed during high-temperature cooking and oil refining. While meat products are a source of 3-MCPDE exposure, related risk assessments remain limited. This study analyzed 3-MCPDE levels in pan-fried marinated meats (pork, chicken, beef, and salmon, with 0-10 % NaCl) using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) following American Oil Chemists' Society (AOCS) Cd 29a-13 and assessed exposure in the Taiwanese population. Salt addition and higher unsaturation promoted lipid oxidation, increasing 3-MCPDE formation. Strong correlations (R > 0.9) were found between 3-MCPDE contents and total oxidation (totox) values across different meat types. Pork, with the highest fat content, had the highest 3-MCPDE levels, followed by salmon. Exposure assessments showed 3-MCPDE intake remained below the tolerable daily intake (TDI), with pork being the largest contributor. The highest P95 exposure from four meat types with 10 % NaCl reached 41.35 % of the TDI, suggesting potential risk when combined with other dietary sources.
期刊介绍:
Food Chemistry: X, one of three Open Access companion journals to Food Chemistry, follows the same aims, scope, and peer-review process. It focuses on papers advancing food and biochemistry or analytical methods, prioritizing research novelty. Manuscript evaluation considers novelty, scientific rigor, field advancement, and reader interest. Excluded are studies on food molecular sciences or disease cure/prevention. Topics include food component chemistry, bioactives, processing effects, additives, contaminants, and analytical methods. The journal welcome Analytical Papers addressing food microbiology, sensory aspects, and more, emphasizing new methods with robust validation and applicability to diverse foods or regions.
