Fatty acid esters of 2- and 3-chloropropanediol (MCPDEs) and fatty acid esters of glycidol (GEs) are commonly monitored in edible fats and oils. A recommendation issued by the European Commission emphasizes the need of generating data on the occurrence of these substances in a broad range of different foods. So far, analytical methods for the determination of MCPDEs and GEs are fully validated ...

Statistical calibration of model parameters conditioned on observations is performed in a Bayesian framework by evaluating the joint posterior probability density function (pdf) of the parameters. The posterior pdf is very often inferred by sampling the parameters with Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) algorithms. Recently, an alternative technique to calculate the socalled Maximal Conditional Po...

The presence of 3-monochloropropanediol (3-MCPD) in edible oils has been widely reported with its potential health risks. aim this study was to apply optimized recent updated and validated enhanced swift analytical indirect method for determining 3-MCPD consumed (palm, palm olein, extra virgin olive, corn, sunflower, soybean, olive pomace) blend 5% sunflower oil oil, using selective sensitive g...
