Food processing can itself produce contaminants due to chemical reactions. One group of process contaminants is the chloropropanols, of which 3-MCPD is the most commonly occurring and well known. 3-MCPD is a potential carcinogen and so its presence in food is regulated, in EU legislation EC 1881/2006 with a maximum level of 20 μg/kg in foods. There is also a advised tolerable daily intake of 2 μg/kg body weight.
3-MCPD (3-monochloropropane-1,2-diol) was first detected in hydrolysed vegetable protein (HVP - a seasoning ingredient), soy sauce and similar foods in 1978. It is formed as a reaction product of hydrochloric acid with triacylglycerols, phospholipids and glycerol from vegetable oil.
Fapas proficiency testing provides a key benchmark of your laboratory testing ability. From this, key areas of improvement can be identified within your current testing setup. This can, in turn, ensure your customers continue to receive high-quality, valid test results, to satisfy regulators and other interested parties.
