ISO 18363-1:2015(E)
Introduction

ISO 18363 is a set of International Standards which can be used for the determination of ester-bound

MCPD and glycidol. There are currently three International Standards which have been proposed and

this introduction is a description of these methods, which can be used by the analyst to decide which

methods are suitable for their application. The detailed application of each method is contained within

the scope of the individual method.

This part of ISO 18363 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. This part of

ISO 18363 is applicable for the fast determination of ester bound 3-MCPD and glycidol in refined and

non-refined vegetable oils and fats. This part of ISO 18363 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 standard 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, this part of ISO 18363 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.

The second part of the proposed International Standards for the determination of ester-bound MCPD

and glycidol represents the AOCS Official Method Cd 29b-13. Briefly, it is based on a slow alkaline

release of MCPD and glycidol from the ester derivatives. Glycidol is subsequently converted into

3-MBPD. The second part of the proposed International Standards consists of two sample preparations

that differ in the use of internal standards. Both parts can be used for the determination of ester bound

2-MCPD and 3-MCPD. In part A, a preliminary result for ester bound glycidol is 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 serves 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 can be monitored. Both assays A and B are 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 is 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 prevents the undesired formation of 3-MCPD from glycidol

in the case of samples which contain naturally occurring amounts of chloride. The second part of the

proposed standards is applicable for the determination of ester bound 3-MCPD, 2-MCPD, and glycidol in

refined and unrefined vegetable oils and fats. The second part of the proposed International Standards

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 standard 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 vegetable oils and fats.

The third part of the proposed International Standards for the determination of ester-bound MCPD

and glycidol represents the AOCS Official Method Cd 29a-13. Briefly, it is based on the conversion of

glycidyl esters into 3-MBPD esters and a slow acidic catalysed release of MCPD and MBPD from the

© ISO 2015 – All rights reserved v

ISO 18363-1:2015(E)

ester derivatives. The third part of the proposed International Standards 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. The third part of the proposed International

Standards can be applied for the determination of ester bound 2-MCPD, 3-MCPD, and glycidol in refined

and non-refined vegetable oils and fats. The third part of the proposed International Standards 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, the third part of the proposed International Standards 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, research has not

shown any evidence of a free analyte content as high as the esterified analyte content in vegetable oils

and fats.

1 Scope

This part of ISO 18363 describes a procedure for the indirect determination of 3-MCPD esters (bound

3-MCPD) and possible free 3-MCPD after alkaline catalysed ester cleavage and derivatization with

phenylboronic acid (PBA). Furthermore, this part of ISO 18363 enables the indirect determination of

glycidyl esters (bound glycidol) under the assumption that no other substances are present that react

at room temperature with inorganic chloride to generate 3-MCPD.

This part of ISO 18363 is applicable to solid and liquid fats and oils. Milk and milk products (or fat

coming from milk and milk products) are excluded from the scope of this part of ISO 18363.

4 Principle

For the determination of the sum of bound 3-MCPD and bound glycidol as free 3-MCPD (assay A),

an aliquot of the sample is spiked with surrogate standard d -3-MCPD-1,2-bis-palmitoyl ester and

dissolved in tertiary-butyl methyl ether (tBME). The addition of a diluted solution of sodium hydroxide

or sodium methoxide in methanol will release free 3-MCPD and free glycidol. This reaction is stopped

by the addition of an excess amount of sodium chloride in acidic solution. Under acidic conditions, free

glycidol reacts with inorganic chloride to additional 3-MCPD and a small amount of 2-MCPD. Undesired

non-polar compounds in the sample are removed by double extraction of the aqueous phase with

isohexane. The analyte, together with the surrogate standard, is transferred into an organic phase by

multiple extraction of the aqueous phase with diethyl ether, ethyl acetate, or a mixture of both solvents.

Derivatization takes place in the organic phase by reaction with PBA. In order to remove excess amounts

of PBA, concentrate the analytes and transfer them into an inert organic solvent the sample extract is

then placed over a small amount of anhydrous sodium sulfate and evaporate until dry under a stream of

nitrogen before being finally re-dissolved in isooctane for the measurement by GC-MS.

For the determination of bound 3-MCPD, a second aliquot of the sample (assay B) is spiked with

-3-MCPD-1,2-bis-palmitoyl ester and dissolved in tBME. The addition of a
a surrogate standard d

diluted solution of sodium hydroxide or sodium methoxide in methanol will release free 3-MCPD and

free glycidol. This reaction is stopped by the addition of an excess amount of an acidic chloride-free

salt solution (e.g. sodium sulfate, ammonium sulfate, sodium bromide). Under chloride-free acidic

conditions, free glycidol reacts to different products depending on the salt used, but does not generate

additional 3-MCPD. The additional sample preparation and measurement is performed as described for

assay A.

For the calculation of bound glycidol, the difference of both determinations (assay A and B) is multiplied

by a non-stoichiometric factor reflecting the transformation of glycidol to 3-MCPD. This procedure is

based on the assumption that the difference between the determinations is caused only by the exclusive

occurrence of glycidyl esters.

Quantification of the analytes is carried out using d -3-MCPD-1,2-bis-palmitoyl ester as surrogate

standard. Therefore, no control of the completeness of the ester cleavage is necessary. A matrix

calibration over the complete method is carried out periodically and serves for the determination

of method linearity, relative recovery and in the case of bound glycidol for the determination of the

transformation factor. As long as the method is not changed, this calibration does not necessarily have

to be done every working day.

Samples which do contain 3-MCPD only and no glycidol result in lower values (approximately 2 %

to 10 %) when using procedure B instead of procedure A. The difference is due to an isotope effect

in procedure B. This effect can be determined by dosing a non-contaminated oil sample with equal

amounts of 3-MCPD-1,2-bis-dipalmitoylester and d -3-MCPD-1,2-bis-palmitoylester before being

divided into two aliquots. The aliquots are then analysed three times according to procedure A and

procedure B. From the determinations, a correction factor may be determined, which is the ratio of the

results from procedure A and B. The isotope effect also appears in the presence of bound glycidol.

As 3-MCPD can occur in certain polymers used for wet strengthening resins and for other purpose, it is

recommended that a blank sample be analysed every day in order to control undesired contamination.

Introduction

ISO 18363 is a set of International Standards which can be used for the determination of ester-bound

MCPD and glycidol. There are currently three International Standards which have been proposed and

this introduction is a description of these methods, which can be used by the analyst to decide which

methods are suitable for their application. The detailed application of each method is contained within

the scope of the individual method.

This part of ISO 18363 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. This part of

ISO 18363 is applicable for the fast determination of ester bound 3-MCPD and glycidol in refined and

non-refined vegetable oils and fats. This part of ISO 18363 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 standard 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, this part of ISO 18363 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.

The second part of the proposed International Standards for the determination of ester-bound MCPD

and glycidol represents the AOCS Official Method Cd 29b-13. Briefly, it is based on a slow alkaline

release of MCPD and glycidol from the ester derivatives. Glycidol is subsequently converted into

3-MBPD. The second part of the proposed International Standards consists of two sample preparations

that differ in the use of internal standards. Both parts can be used for the determination of ester bound

2-MCPD and 3-MCPD. In part A, a preliminary result for ester bound glycidol is 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 serves 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 can be monitored. Both assays A and B are 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 is 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 prevents the undesired formation of 3-MCPD from glycidol

in the case of samples which contain naturally occurring amounts of chloride. The second part of the

proposed standards is applicable for the determination of ester bound 3-MCPD, 2-MCPD, and glycidol in

refined and unrefined vegetable oils and fats. The second part of the proposed International Standards

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 standard 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 vegetable oils and fats.

The third part of the proposed International Standards for the determination of ester-bound MCPD

and glycidol represents the AOCS Official Method Cd 29a-13. Briefly, it is based on the conversion of

glycidyl esters into 3-MBPD esters and a slow acidic catalysed release of MCPD and MBPD from the

ester derivatives. The third part of the proposed International Standards 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. The third part of the proposed International

Standards can be applied for the determination of ester bound 2-MCPD, 3-MCPD, and glycidol in refined

and non-refined vegetable oils and fats. The third part of the proposed International Standards 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, the third part of the proposed International Standards 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, research has not

shown any evidence of a free analyte content as high as the esterified analyte content in vegetable oils

and fats.

1 Scope

This part of ISO 18363 describes a procedure for the indirect determination of 3-MCPD esters (bound

3-MCPD) and possible free 3-MCPD after alkaline catalysed ester cleavage and derivatization with

phenylboronic acid (PBA). Furthermore, this part of ISO 18363 enables the indirect determination of

glycidyl esters (bound glycidol) under the assumption that no other substances are present that react

at room temperature with inorganic chloride to generate 3-MCPD.

This part of ISO 18363 is applicable to solid and liquid fats and oils. Milk and milk products (or fat

coming from milk and milk products) are excluded from the scope of this part of ISO 18363.
