This study presents an efficient enzymatic technique for removing 3-MCPD from extra virgin olive oil using Candida rugosa lipase in the presence of choline chloride, fructose-based natural deep eutectic solvent, and nanocellulose extracted from almond shells. The validity of the method was confirmed by gas chromatography mass spectrometry. Under optimized conditions, the enzymatic hydrolysis removed 79.8% of 3-MCPD. This technique has significant implications for producing high-quality oils free from 3-MCPD.
3-monochloropropanediol ester (3-MCPDE) is identified as a food-borne contaminant in edible oils and are classified as a possible carcinogen. This study reports an efficient enzymatic technique for the removal of 3MCPDE from extra virgin olive oil (EVO) using Candida rugosa lipase (CRL) as the biocatalyst in the presence of choline chloride and fructose-based natural deep eutectic solvent (NADES) and nanocellulose (NC) extracted from almond shells. The validity of the method was confirmed by gas chromatography mass spectrometry (GCMS) showing adequate precision with relative standard deviation values <= 2.37%. The quantification and detection limit are within the permissible levels of 3-MCPD in edible oils. Under optimized conditions of 30 min at 90 degrees C with 60 mu L of phenylboronic acid (PBA), the enzymatic hydrolysis resulted in the removal of 79.8% of spiked 3-MCPD in EVO. No adverse effects of the EVO were detected from this technique with respect to the oil quality testing. The application of DESs and NCs as the support material for the CRL biocatalyst for the removal of 3-MCPDE has yet to be explored. This could have a significant impact on the edible oil industry for producing oils of higher quality free from 3-MCPDE.
