Free 2- and 3-MCPD (MonoChloroPropaneDiol) and their fatty acid esterase formed during the industrial process of Hydrolyzed Vegetable Proteins (HVP). This process is used to enhance flavor and happens when proteins are hydrolyzed with hydrochloric acid. Free glycidol is an organic stabilizer that is used in oil refining process, and it extensively converts to 3-MCPD in vivo.2-, 3-MCPD and Glycidyl Esters are chemical contaminants formed during the industrial process of vegetable fats and oils, especially during the high-temperature refining deodorization step.
