ŠIMKO P., SKLÁRŠOVÁ B., ŠIMON P., BELAJOVÁ E. (2006): Effect of plastic packages on benzo[a]pyrene concentration in sunflower oil. Czech J. Food Sci., 24: 143–148. Commercially available sunflower oil and the same oil distilled additionally in a molecular evaporator (to remove naturally occurring compounds) was spiked with benzo[a]pyrene (BaP) at the levels of 37.1 and 38.6 μg/kg, respectively. Then, it was filled into polyethylene terephtalate (PET) and low density polyethylene (LDPE) receptacles of cylindrical shape, and BaP concentration was followed within 49 h. At the end of the experiments, BaP concentration in the non-distilled oil packed into PET decreased to 25.9 μg/kg, and BaP concentration in the distilled oil decreased to 34.6 μg/kg. The rate and the extent of BaP removal were evaluated comparing the diffusion and equilibrium coefficients. The results showed that PET is able to reduce BaP concentration in sunflower oil due to BaP sorption on the PET surface, but the rate and the extent of BaP removal are also affected by other compounds present in the oil. As found, LDPE is an inappropriate material for the BaP removal from sunflower and rapeseed oils, because BaP concentration in the oils remained at a constant level during the

Analysis of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in vegetable oils combining gel permeation chromatography with solid-phase extraction clean-up.
A semi-automatic method for the determination of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in edible oils using a combined gel permeation chromatography/solid-phase extraction (GPC/SPE) clean-up is presented. The method takes advantage of automatic injections using a Gilson ASPEC XL sample handling system equipped with a GPC column (S-X3) and pre-packed silica SPE columns for the subsequent clean...

In rats exposed to a single intraperitoneal dose of 200 mg/kg of the environmental carcinogen benzo[a]pyrene (BP) in sunflower oil, significant individual variations in excretion of the BP activation (BP-7,8-diol) and deactivation (3-OH-BP) derivatives were found. Most rats developed peritoneal sarcomas. Only the levels of BP-7,8-diol excreted in the urine correlated directly with the latency o...

Determination of benzo(a)pyrene in vegetable oils was carried out using aluminium oxide for clean-up followed by reverse phase high performance liquid chromatographic (HPLC). A quantity of oil was dissolved in petroleum ether and added to an aluminium oxide column which retained the lipids. Benzo(a)pyrene in the oil was eluted from the column with petroleum ether and the collected eluate was co...
