Abstract
Crude coconut oil often contains high levels of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), which are commonly carcinogenic. The present work demonstrated that PAHs in coconut oil were significantly removed by ionic liquids (ILs). The relationship between the removal efficiency and the structures of ILs was investigated, using 12 different types ILs. Among these, 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium tosylate ([Bmim][TOS]) showed the highest efficiency in removing benzo(a)pyrene (BaP). The optimal process conditions for the removal of PAHs using [Bmim][TOS] were explored, and the removal efficiency for benzo(a)anthracene (BaA), chrysene (CHR), benzo(b)fluoranthene (BbF), and BaP under the optimal conditions were 42.7 ± 1.0, 33.3 ± 1.4, 88.8 ± 0.9, and 73.8 ± 1.0%, respectively. Importantly, [Bmim][TOS] could be recycled up to five times without a significant decrease in PAHs removal. The quantum chemistry calculations and spectrum analyses were conducted to study the interactions between ILs and PAHs, using BaP as a model compound. The ability of [Bmim][TOS] to remove PAHs originate its high hydrogen bond accepting ability and the collaborative hydrogen bond interactions between the PAHs and ILs.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of the American Oil Chemists’ Society (JAOCS) is an international peer-reviewed journal that publishes significant original scientific research and technological advances on fats, oils, oilseed proteins, and related materials through original research articles, invited reviews, short communications, and letters to the editor. We seek to publish reports that will significantly advance scientific understanding through hypothesis driven research, innovations, and important new information pertaining to analysis, properties, processing, products, and applications of these food and industrial resources. Breakthroughs in food science and technology, biotechnology (including genomics, biomechanisms, biocatalysis and bioprocessing), and industrial products and applications are particularly appropriate.
JAOCS also considers reports on the lipid composition of new, unique, and traditional sources of lipids that definitively address a research hypothesis and advances scientific understanding. However, the genus and species of the source must be verified by appropriate means of classification. In addition, the GPS location of the harvested materials and seed or vegetative samples should be deposited in an accredited germplasm repository. Compositional data suitable for Original Research Articles must embody replicated estimate of tissue constituents, such as oil, protein, carbohydrate, fatty acid, phospholipid, tocopherol, sterol, and carotenoid compositions. Other components unique to the specific plant or animal source may be reported. Furthermore, lipid composition papers should incorporate elements of yeartoyear, environmental, and/ or cultivar variations through use of appropriate statistical analyses.
