Animal and vegetable fats and oils - Determination of fatty-acid-bound chloropropanediols (MCPDs) and glycidol by GC/MS - Part 2: Method using slow alkaline transesterification and measurement for 2-MCPD, 3-MCPD and glycidol (ISO 18363-2:2018)

This part of ISO 18363 describes a procedure for the parallel determination of glycidol together with 2-MCPD and 3-MCPD present in bound or free form in oils and fats. The method is based on alkalinecatalyzed ester cleavage, transformation of the released glycidol into monobromopropanediol (MBPD) and derived free diols (MCPD and MBPD) with phenylboronic acid (PBA). Though free MCPD and glycidol are supposed to be present in fats and oils in low to negligible quantities only, significant content would increase proportionately the determination of bound analytes.
This method is applicable to solid and liquid fats and oils. This part of ISO 18363 can also apply to animal fats and used frying oils and fats, but a validation study must be undertaken before the analysis of these matrices.
Milk and milk products (or fat coming from milk and milk products) are excluded from the scope of this international standard.

Le présent document décrit un mode opératoire permettant la détermination parallèle du glycidol ainsi que du 2-MCPD et du 3-MCPD présents sous forme liée ou libre dans les corps gras. La méthode repose sur un clivage des esters par catalyse alcaline, une transformation du glycidol ainsi libéré en monobromopropanediol (MBPD) et une dérivatisation des diols libres (MCPD et MBPD) en présence d'acide phénylboronique (PBA). Même si les corps gras ne sont censés contenir que des quantités faibles voire négligeables de MCPD libre et de glycidol libre, une teneur importante augmenterait proportionnellement la détermination des analytes liés.
La présente méthode est applicable aux corps gras solides et liquides. Le présent document peut également s'appliquer aux graisses animales et aux huiles de friture usagées, mais une étude de validation est menée avant de procéder à l'analyse de ces matrices.
Le lait et les produits laitiers (ou les corps gras issus du lait et des produits laitiers) sont exclus du domaine d'application du présent document.

Ta del standarda ISO 18363 opisuje postopek za vzporedno ugotavljanje glicidola z 2-MCPD in 3-MCPD, prisotnega v vezanih ali prostih oljih in maščobah. Ta metoda temelji na alkalno katalizirani cepitvi estra, pretvarjanju sproščenega glicidola v monobromopropandiol (MBPD) in izpeljane proste diole (MCPD in MBPD) s fenilborovo kislino (PBA). Čeprav bi naj bila prosti MCPD in glicidol prisotna v maščobah ter oljih samo v nizkih do zanemarljivih količinah, bi velika vsebnost sorazmerno povečala ugotavljanje vezanih analitov.
Ta metoda se uporablja za trdne in tekoče maščobe ter olja. Ta del standarda ISO 18363 se lahko uporablja tudi za živalske maščobe ter uporabljena olja in maščobe za cvrtje, vendar je treba pred analizo teh matrik izvesti predhodno validacijsko študijo.
Mleko in mlečni izdelki (ali maščoba iz mleka in mlečnih izdelkov) niso zajeti v tem mednarodnem standardu.

ISO 18363-2:2018(E)

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.
[1] [2]
ISO 18363-1 is a differential method equivalent to the DGF standard C-VI 18 (10) and identical to
[3]
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,
[4]
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.
[5][6]
This document represents AOCS Official Method Cd 29b-13 . For information on corresponding
validation data, see Annex B. Briefly, it is based on a slow alkaline release of MCPD and glycidol from
the ester derivatives. Glycidol is subsequently converted into 3-MBPD. This document consists 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 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 isotope-labelled free MCPD isomers in assay A and isotope-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. This document is applicable to the determination of ester-bound 3-MCPD, 2-MCPD, and
glycidol in refined and unrefined vegetable oils and fats. It also applies 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 does 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.
[7] [8][9]
ISO 18363-3 represents 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. ISO 18363-3 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. ISO 18363-3 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, ISO 18363-3 can also be
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.

Animal and vegetable fats and oils — Determination of
fatty-acid-bound chloropropanediols (MCPDs) and glycidol
by GC/MS —
Part 2:
Method using slow alkaline transesterification and
measurement for 2-MCPD, 3-MCPD and glycidol
1 Scope
This document specifies a procedure for the parallel determination of glycidol together with 2-MCPD
and 3-MCPD present in bound or free form in oils and fats. The method is based on alkaline-catalysed
ester cleavage, transformation of the released glycidol into monobromopropanediol (MBPD) and
derivatisation of the derived free diols (MCPD and MBPD) with phenylboronic acid (PBA). Though free
MCPD and glycidol are supposed to be present in fats and oils in low to negligible quantities only, in the
event that free analytes are present, they would contribute proportionately to the results. The results
always being the sum of the free and the bound form of a single analyte.
This method is applicable to solid and liquid fats and oils. This document can also apply to animal fats
and used frying oils and fats, but a validation study is undertaken before the analysis of these matrices.
Milk and milk products (or fat coming from milk and milk products) are excluded from the scope of this

4 Principle
For the determination of bound 2-MCPD, bound 3-MCPD and bound glycidol as free 2-MCPD, free
3-MCPD and free 3-MBPD (3-Monobromopropanediol), two aliquots (A and B) of the sample are spiked
with surrogate standards (d -2-MCPD, d -3-MCPD, d -glycidylester in assay A and d -2-MCPD-1,3-
5 5 5 5
diester, d -3-MCPD-1,2-diester in assay B) and dissolved in diethyl ether. Both assays are processed in
5
parallel. The addition of a diluted solution of sodium hydroxide or sodium methoxide in methanol in the
cold will release free 2-MCPD, free 3-MCPD and free glycidol over a period of 8 h to 12 h. This reaction
is stopped by the addition of an excess amount of sodium bromide in acidic solution. Under acidic
conditions, free glycidol reacts with inorganic bromide to form 3-MBPD and a small amount of 2-MBPD.
Undesired non-polar compounds in the sample are removed by double extraction of the aqueous phase
with isohexane. The analytes, together with the surrogate standards, are 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, the analytes are concentrated and transferred into an inert organic solvent.
The sample extract is then placed over a small amount of anhydrous sodium sulfate and evaporated to
dryness under a stream of nitrogen before being finally redissolved in iso-octane for the measurement
by GC/MS.
The alkaline catalysed transesterification in the cold minimizes the undesired transformation of 3-MCPD
into glycidol that proceeds to a significant extend when the reaction is carried out at room temperature.
Nevertheless, in case of large amounts of 3-MCPD being present, even a minor transformation into
glycidol might increase the glycidol results from assay A artificially. In order to achieve the correct
glycidol results, even in the presence of high 3-MCPD content, assay B serves for the determination of
the undesired 3-MCPD–glycidol transformation by determining the amount of d -glycidol that has been
5
generated from d -3-MCPD-diester by the sample preparation. The corresponding transformation ratio
5
is used for correcting the glycidol value derived from assay A. Another point to be taken into account
is that 3-MCPD is converted approximately 1,2-fold faster via glycidol into 3-MBPD than 3-MCPD-d
5
via glycidol-d into 3-MBPD-d . Consequently, the isotopic factor I = 1,2 has to be considered for the
5 5
quantitative determination of the amount of glycidol that has been generated accidentally from the
non-labelled 3-MCPD by alkaline treatment in assay A.
Quantification of the analytes is carried out by internal one-point-calibration using the corresponding
d -esters as surrogate standards. Therefore, no external calibration is necessary. Likewise, no analyte
5
recoveries have to be considered. However, the cleaving rates of MCPD mono- and diesters might be
different and as only d -MCPD-diesters serve as internal standards, the degree of ester cleavage should
5
have proceeded on a large scale. Therefore, the degree of variations in ester cleavage is monitored
by calculating the differences in 3-MCPD results between assay A and B. For information on deriving

As 3-MCPD can occur in certain polymers used for wet strengthening resins and for other purposes,
it might also occur from the use of consumables, e.g. screw lid vials or filter. Baking the glassware at
400 °C to 500 °C can reduce this problem. A better solution is the use of non-contaminated materials.

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, this 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.
This document 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. ISO 18363-2 consists 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 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. ISO 18363-2 is 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.
ISO 18363-3 represents 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. 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, research has not shown any evidence of a free analyte content as high as the esterified
analyte content in vegetable oils and fats.

DRAFT INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ISO/DIS 18363-2:2017(E)
Animal and vegetable fats and oils — Determination of
fatty-acid-bound chloropropanediols (MCPDs) and glycidol
by GC/MS —
Part 2:
Method using slow alkaline transesterification and
measurement for 2-MCPD, 3-MCPD and glycidol
1 Scope
This part of ISO 18363 describes a procedure for the parallel determination of glycidol together with
2- MCPD and 3-MCPD present in bound or free form in oils and fats. The method is based on alkaline-
catalyzed ester cleavage, transformation of the released glycidol into monobromopropanediol (MBPD)
and derived free diols (MCPD and MBPD) with phenylboronic acid (PBA). Though free MCPD and glycidol
are supposed to be present in fats and oils in low to negligible quantities only, significant content would
increase proportionately the determination of bound analytes.
This method is applicable to solid and liquid fats and oils. This part of ISO 18363 can also apply to
animal fats and used frying oils and fats, but a validation study must be undertaken before the analysis
of these matrices.
Milk and milk products (or fat coming from milk and milk products) are excluded from the scope of this
international standard.

4 Principle
For the determination of bound 2-MCPD, bound 3-MCPD and bound glycidol as free 2-MCPD, free
3-MCPD and free 3-MBPD (3-Monobromopropanediol), two aliquots (A and B) of the sample are spiked
with surrogate standards (d -2-MCPD, d -3-MCPD, d -glycidylester in assay A and d -2-MCPD-1,3-
5 5 5 5
diester, d -3-MCPD-1,2-diester in assay B) and dissolved in diethyl ether. Both assays are processed
5
in parallel and as follows: The addition of a diluted solution of sodium hydroxide or sodium methoxide
in methanol in the cold will release free 2-MCPD, free 3-MCPD and free glycidol over night. This
reaction is stopped by the addition of an excess amount of sodium bromide in acidic solution. Under
acidic conditions, free glycidol reacts with inorganic bromide to form 3-MBPD and a small amount
of 2-MBPD. Undesired non-polar compounds in the sample are removed by double extraction of the
aqueous phase with isohexane. The analytes, together with the surrogate standards, are 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, the analytes are concentrated and transferred them into an inert
organic solvent. The sample extract is then placed over a small amount of anhydrous sodium sulfate
and evaporated to dryness under a stream of nitrogen before being finally redissolved in isooctane for
the measurement by GC-MS.
The alkaline catalyzed transesterification in the cold minimizes the undesired transformation of 3-MCPD
into glycidol that proceeds to a significant extend when the reaction is carried out at room temperature.
Nevertheless, in case of large amounts of 3-MCPD being present, even a minor transformation into
glycidol might increase the glycidol results from assay A artificially. In order to achieve the correct
glycidol results, even in presence of high 3-MCPD content, assay B serves for the determination of the
undesired 3-MCPD – glycidol transformation by determining the amount of d -glycidol that has been
5
generated from d -3-MCPD-diester by the sample preparation. The corresponding transformation ratio
5
is used for correcting the glycidol value derived from assay A. Another point to be taken into account
is that 3-MCPD is converted approximately 1.2-fold faster via glycidol into 3-MBPD than 3-MCPD-d5
via glycidol-d5 into 3-MBPD-d5. Consequently, the isotopic factor I = 1.2 has to be considered for the
quantitative determination of the amount of glycidol that has been generated accidentally from the
non-labeled 3-MCPD by alkaline treatment in assay A.
Quantification of the analytes is carried out by internal one-point-calibration using the corresponding
d -esters as surrogate standards. Therefore, no external calibration is necessary. Likewise no analyte
5
recoveries have to be considered. However, the cleaving rates of MCPD mono- and diesters might be
different and as only d -MCPD-diesters serve as internal standards, the degree of ester cleavage should
5
have proceeded on a large scale. Therefore the degree of variations in ester cleavage is monitored by
calculating the differences in 3-MCPD results between assay A and B.
As 3-MCPD can occur in certain polymers used for wet strengthening resins and for other purposes
it might also occur from the use of consumables, e.g. screw lid vials or filter. Baking the glassware at
400 °C to 500 °C can reduce this problem. A better solution is the use of non-contaminated materials.
