Regulation of the cancirogens 3-MCPD and glycidil ethers levels - the world trend in the food products safety

Abstract

The items of regulation of the content of the carcirogens 3-MCPD and glycidil ethers in food products have bee considered. Carcinogens appear in food products in the process of raffination (desodorization) of the vegetable oils, frying, smoking and at some other high temperature methods of treatment. Glycidil ethers can also migrate in foods from the packaging materials (plastics et al.).
