Introduction
The ISO 18363 series is a family of International Standards which can be used for the determination of
ester-bound MCPD and glycidol. This introduction describes the methods specified in the three documents
currently published or proposed so that the analyst can decide which methods are suitable for application.
The detailed application of each method is contained within the scope of the individual method.
ISO 18363-1 is a differential method equivalent to the DGF standard C-VI 18 (10) and identical to AOCS
Official Method Cd 29c-13. Briefly, it is based on a fast alkaline catalysed release of 3-MCPD and glycidol
from the ester derivatives. Glycidol is subsequently converted into induced 3-MCPD. It consists of two
parts. The first part (A) allows the determination of the sum of ester-bound 3-MCPD and ester-bound
glycidol, whereas the second part (B) determines ester-bound 3-MCPD only. Both assays are based
on the release of the target analytes 3-MCPD and glycidol from the ester-bound form by an alkaline
catalysed alcoholysis carried out at room temperature. In part A, an acidified sodium chloride solution
is used to stop the reaction and subsequently convert the glycidol into induced 3-MCPD. Thus, 3-MCPD
and glycidol become indistinguishable in part A. In part B, the reaction stop is achieved by the addition
of an acidified chloride-free salt solution which also prevents the conversion of glycidol into induced
MCPD. Thereby, part B allows the determination of the genuine 3-MCPD content. Finally, the glycidol
content of the sample is proportional to the difference of both assays (A – B) and can be calculated
when the transformation ratio from glycidol to 3-MCPD has been determined. ISO 18363-1 is applicable
to the fast determination of ester-bound 3-MCPD and glycidol in refined and non-refined vegetable oils
and fats. ISO 18363-1 can also apply to animal fats and used frying oils and fats, but a validation study
has to be undertaken before the analysis of these matrices. Any free analytes within the sample would
be included in the results, but the document does not allow the distinction between free and bound
analytes. However, as of publication, research has not shown any evidence of a free analyte content as
high as the esterified analyte content in refined vegetable oils and fats. In principle, ISO 18363-1 can
also be modified in such a way that the determination of 2-MCPD is feasible, but again, a validation
study has to be undertaken before the analysis of this analyte.
ISO 18363-2 (proposed) will represent AOCS Official Method Cd 29b-13. Briefly, it will be based on a slow
alkaline release of MCPD and glycidol from the ester derivatives. Glycidol is subsequently converted
into 3-MBPD. ISO 18363-2 will consist of two sample preparations that differ in the use of internal
standards. Both preparations will be used for the determination of ester-bound 2-MCPD and 3-MCPD.
In part A, a preliminary result for ester-bound glycidol will be determined. Because the 3-MCPD present
in the sample will be converted to some minor extent into induced glycidol by the sample preparation,
part B will serve to quantify this amount of induced glycidol that is subsequently subtracted from the
preliminary glycidol result of part A. By the use of isotopically labelled free MCPD isomers in assay A
and isotopically labelled ester-bound 2-MCPD and 3-MCPD in part B, the efficiency of ester cleavage will
be able to be monitored. Both assays A and B will be based on the release of the target analytes 2-MCPD,
3-MCPD, and glycidol from the ester-bound form by a slow alkaline catalysed alcoholysis in the cold.
In both sample preparations, the reaction will be stopped by the addition of an acidified concentrated
sodium bromide solution so as to convert the unstable and volatile glycidol into 3-MBPD which shows
comparable properties to 3-MCPD with regard to its stability and chromatographic performance.
Moreover, the major excess of bromide ions will prevent the undesired formation of 3-MCPD from
glycidol in the case of samples which contain naturally occurring amounts of chloride. ISO 18363-2
will be applicable to the determination of ester-bound 3-MCPD, 2-MCPD, and glycidol in refined and
unrefined vegetable oils and fats. It will also apply to animal fats and used frying oils and fats, but a
validation study will have to be undertaken before the analysis of these matrices. Any free analytes
within the sample would be included in the results, but the document will not allow the distinction
between free and bound analytes. However, as of publication of this document, research has not shown
any evidence of a free analyte content as high as the esterified analyte content in vegetable oils and fats.
This document represents AOCS Official Method Cd 29a-13. Briefly, it is based on the conversion
of glycidyl esters into 3-MBPD esters and a slow acid catalysed release of MCPD and MBPD from the
ester derivatives. This document is based on a single sample preparation in which glycidyl esters are
converted into MBPD monoesters, and subsequently, the free analytes 2-MCPD, 3-MCPD, and 3-MBPD
are released by a slow acid catalysed alcoholysis. The 3-MBPD represents the genuine content of bound
glycidol. This document can be applied for the determination of ester-bound 2-MCPD, 3-MCPD, and

glycidol in refined and non-refined vegetable oils and fats. It can also apply to animal fats and used
frying oils and fats, but a validation study has to be undertaken before the analysis of these matrices.
The method is suited for the analysis of bound (esterified) analytes, but if required, this document
can be also performed without the initial conversion of glycidyl esters. In such a setup, both free and
bound 2-MCPD and 3-MCPD forms would be included in the results and the amount of free analytes can
be calculated as a difference between two determinations performed in both setups. However, as of
publication of this document, research has not shown any evidence of a free analyte content as high as
the esterified analyte content in vegetable oils and fats.

4 Principle
The oil/fat sample is dissolved in tetrahydrofuran, and the internal standards (pentadeuterated 3-MCPD
diester and pentadeuterated glycidyl ester) are added. During the first step of sample preparation,
glycidyl esters are converted into 3-MBPD monoesters by the addition of an acidified solution of sodium
bromide. Upon completion of the reaction, the organic phase, containing 2- and 3-MCPD esters and
3-MBPD esters, is separated and evaporated to dryness. In the second step the residue is dissolved
in tetrahydrofuran and the acid transesterification is initiated by the addition of an acid alcoholic
solution. After 16 h incubation at 40 °C, the sample mixture is neutralized and the fatty acid methyl
esters generated during the transesterification are removed. Finally, the purified sample [containing
cleaved (free) analytes] is derivatized with phenylboronic acid prior to GC/MS analysis.
The quantification of 2- and 3-MCPD esters (expressed as bound 2- and 3-MCPD) is based on the
2-MCPD/3-MCPD-d5 and 3-MCPD/3-MCPD-d5 signal ratio, respectively. The quantification of glycidyl
esters (expressed as bound glycidol) is based on the 3-MBPD/3-MBPD-d5 signal ratio.
This method allows the simultaneous quantification of all three analytes in a single assay.

Introduction
The ISO 18363 series is a family of International Standards which can be used for the determination of
ester-bound MCPD and glycidol. This introduction describes the methods specified in the three documents
currently published or proposed so that the analyst can decide which methods are suitable for application.
The detailed application of each method is contained within the scope of the individual method.
ISO 18363-1 is a differential method equivalent to the DGF standard C-VI 18 (10) and identical to AOCS
Official Method Cd 29c-13. Briefly, it is based on a fast alkaline catalysed release of 3-MCPD and glycidol
from the ester derivatives. Glycidol is subsequently converted into induced 3-MCPD. It consists of two
parts. The first part (A) allows the determination of the sum of ester-bound 3-MCPD and ester-bound
glycidol, whereas the second part (B) determines ester-bound 3-MCPD only. Both assays are based
on the release of the target analytes 3-MCPD and glycidol from the ester-bound form by an alkaline
catalysed alcoholysis carried out at room temperature. In part A, an acidified sodium chloride solution
is used to stop the reaction and subsequently convert the glycidol into induced 3-MCPD. Thus, 3-MCPD
and glycidol become indistinguishable in part A. In part B, the reaction stop is achieved by the addition
of an acidified chloride-free salt solution which also prevents the conversion of glycidol into induced
MCPD. Thereby, part B allows the determination of the genuine 3-MCPD content. Finally, the glycidol
content of the sample is proportional to the difference of both assays (A – B) and can be calculated
when the transformation ratio from glycidol to 3-MCPD has been determined. ISO 18363-1 is applicable
to the fast determination of ester-bound 3-MCPD and glycidol in refined and non-refined vegetable oils
and fats. ISO 18363-1 can also apply to animal fats and used frying oils and fats, but a validation study
has to be undertaken before the analysis of these matrices. Any free analytes within the sample would
be included in the results, but the document does not allow the distinction between free and bound
analytes. However, as of publication, research has not shown any evidence of a free analyte content as
high as the esterified analyte content in refined vegetable oils and fats. In principle, ISO 18363-1 can
also be modified in such a way that the determination of 2-MCPD is feasible, but again, a validation
study has to be undertaken before the analysis of this analyte.
ISO 18363-2 (proposed) will represent AOCS Official Method Cd 29b-13. Briefly, it will be based on a slow
alkaline release of MCPD and glycidol from the ester derivatives. Glycidol is subsequently converted
into 3-MBPD. ISO 18363-2 will consist of two sample preparations that differ in the use of internal
standards. Both preparations will be used for the determination of ester-bound 2-MCPD and 3-MCPD.
In part A, a preliminary result for ester-bound glycidol will be determined. Because the 3-MCPD present
in the sample will be converted to some minor extent into induced glycidol by the sample preparation,
part B will serve to quantify this amount of induced glycidol that is subsequently subtracted from the
preliminary glycidol result of part A. By the use of isotopically labelled free MCPD isomers in assay A
and isotopically labelled ester-bound 2-MCPD and 3-MCPD in part B, the efficiency of ester cleavage will
be able to be monitored. Both assays A and B will be based on the release of the target analytes 2-MCPD,
3-MCPD, and glycidol from the ester-bound form by a slow alkaline catalysed alcoholysis in the cold.
In both sample preparations, the reaction will be stopped by the addition of an acidified concentrated
sodium bromide solution so as to convert the unstable and volatile glycidol into 3-MBPD which shows
comparable properties to 3-MCPD with regard to its stability and chromatographic performance.
Moreover, the major excess of bromide ions will prevent the undesired formation of 3-MCPD from
glycidol in the case of samples which contain naturally occurring amounts of chloride. ISO 18363-2
will be applicable to the determination of ester-bound 3-MCPD, 2-MCPD, and glycidol in refined and
unrefined vegetable oils and fats. It will also apply to animal fats and used frying oils and fats, but a
validation study will have to be undertaken before the analysis of these matrices. Any free analytes
within the sample would be included in the results, but the document will not allow the distinction
between free and bound analytes. However, as of publication of this document, research has not shown
any evidence of a free analyte content as high as the esterified analyte content in vegetable oils and fats.
This document represents AOCS Official Method Cd 29a-13. Briefly, it is based on the conversion
of glycidyl esters into 3-MBPD esters and a slow acid catalysed release of MCPD and MBPD from the
ester derivatives. This document is based on a single sample preparation in which glycidyl esters are
converted into MBPD monoesters, and subsequently, the free analytes 2-MCPD, 3-MCPD, and 3-MBPD
are released by a slow acid catalysed alcoholysis. The 3-MBPD represents the genuine content of bound
glycidol. This document can be applied for the determination of ester-bound 2-MCPD, 3-MCPD, and

glycidol in refined and non-refined vegetable oils and fats. It can also apply to animal fats and used
frying oils and fats, but a validation study has to be undertaken before the analysis of these matrices.
The method is suited for the analysis of bound (esterified) analytes, but if required, this document
can be also performed without the initial conversion of glycidyl esters. In such a setup, both free and
bound 2-MCPD and 3-MCPD forms would be included in the results and the amount of free analytes can
be calculated as a difference between two determinations performed in both setups. However, as of
publication of this document, research has not shown any evidence of a free analyte content as high as
the esterified analyte content in vegetable oils and fats.

4 Principle
The oil/fat sample is dissolved in tetrahydrofuran, and the internal standards (pentadeuterated 3-MCPD
diester and pentadeuterated glycidyl ester) are added. During the first step of sample preparation,
glycidyl esters are converted into 3-MBPD monoesters by the addition of an acidified solution of sodium
bromide. Upon completion of the reaction, the organic phase, containing 2- and 3-MCPD esters and
3-MBPD esters, is separated and evaporated to dryness. In the second step the residue is dissolved
in tetrahydrofuran and the acid transesterification is initiated by the addition of an acid alcoholic
solution. After 16 h incubation at 40 °C, the sample mixture is neutralized and the fatty acid methyl
esters generated during the transesterification are removed. Finally, the purified sample [containing
cleaved (free) analytes] is derivatized with phenylboronic acid prior to GC/MS analysis.
The quantification of 2- and 3-MCPD esters (expressed as bound 2- and 3-MCPD) is based on the
2-MCPD/3-MCPD-d5 and 3-MCPD/3-MCPD-d5 signal ratio, respectively. The quantification of glycidyl
esters (expressed as bound glycidol) is based on the 3-MBPD/3-MBPD-d5 signal ratio.
This method allows the simultaneous quantification of all three analytes in a single assay.
