Abstract
The paper presents the results of the content of glycidyl esters of fatty acids in terms of glycidol in samples of unrefined and refined vegetable oils, studied according to the methods described in [1, 2]. The range of concentrations of glycidyl esters in the studied samples of vegetable oils ranged from 0.1 to 9.8 mg/kg, whereas standard norms should not exceed 1 mg/kg for edible vegetable oils. Analysis of oil samples confirmed the complete or almost complete absence of glycidyl esters in non-deodorized oils. The largest amount of glycidyl esters was found in refined palm oil (9.8 mg/kg), which shows the importance of controlling the content of these toxic impurities in vegetable oils entering the market. Therefore, the production of vegetable oils requires the improvement of technology and the introduction of technological measures to prevent the formation of contaminants in edible oils. However, the presence of free fatty acids in the oils can lead to the formation of glycidyl esters. The physical quality indicators, physico-chemical parameters and fatty acid composition of the samples of raw unrefined and refined vegetable oils were determined step by step. The studied oils according to physico-chemical parameters comply with the safety requirements of TR CU 021/2011 and TR CU 024/2011. According to physico-chemical indicators, the oils have an acid number of 0.2-4.6 and a peroxide number of 0.8-9.8 within the normal range. The indicators of acid and peroxide numbers reflect the presence of free fatty acids in vegetable oils.
