Effect Of Different Processing Methods On The Level Of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons In Palm Oil
ABSTRACT
Gas chromatograph (GC) with flame ionization detection (FID)
was used to determine 13 Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons(PAHs) in palm oil
processed using 4 different processing methods. The analysis for PAll in the
sample includes several procedures which involve separation, clean up and final
determination. The results showed that the limit of detection (LoD) for
individual (10) PAHs found in the sample was less than 1.44j.tg/kg. Benzo (b)
flouranthene, Benzo(k) flouranthene and Benzo (a) pyrene were detected in the
oil from the mill and their values were 3225 jig/kg, 83,275 jig/kg and
5299j.tg/kg respectively. Benzo (b) flouranthene was detected and quantified in
the palm oil obtained from the market with value of 1296jig/kg. However PAH
content of sample prepared using gas cooker and firewood as a source of heat
were below the instrument detection limit of 1.44 jig/kg. The presence of
Benzo(b) flouranthene, Benzo (k) flouranthene and Benzo (a) pyrene which range
from 1296 jig/kg-83,275 jig/kg suggest that palm oil contains PAHs from
pyrolytic origin.
