Abstract
Abstract: To safeguard the consumers' well-being, it is necessary to develop novel methods for determination of carcinogens in food, including volatiles generated during frying. The currently used procedures for analysis of volatile fraction of vegetable oils are not based on real-time measurements and thus do not enable the determination of carcinogenic compounds in frying fumes; instead, only the headspace or liquid fraction is sampled. In this article, described is an approach in which proton transfer reaction mass spectrometry with time-of-flight analyser (PTR-TOFMS) was used for real-time monitoring of carcinogenic compounds generated during thermal degradation of rapeseed oil. Using PTR-MS, it was possible to monitor the concentration of known volatile carcinogens according to the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), alongside BTEX compounds, acrolein, and selected aldehydes. Moreover, the applicability of several supervised data analysis methods for the classification of oil samples according to their degree of thermal degradation was presented, with best results obtained using the k-nearest neighbours algorithm. Proton transfer reaction mass spectrometry is a powerful technique for the determination of carcinogenic compounds generated during thermal degradation of edible oils. Further investigation of the chemical processes which occur during frying can lead to improvement of food safety.
期刊介绍:
"Monatshefte für Chemie/Chemical Monthly" was originally conceived as an Austrian journal of chemistry. It has evolved into an international journal covering all branches of chemistry. Featuring the most recent advances in research in analytical chemistry, biochemistry, inorganic, medicinal, organic, physical, structural, and theoretical chemistry, Chemical Monthly publishes refereed original papers and a section entitled "Short Communications". Reviews, symposia in print, and issues devoted to special fields will also be considered.
