Investigation of analysis methods of pesticide residues, mycotoxins, antioxidants and heavy metals in edible oils

Abstract

Considering the widespread use of oils in the preparation of foods, controlling the amount of ingredients in edible oils that can be problematic for human health is extremely important. Due to the complex matrix of oils, analysis of the different compounds in them is usually not possible without isolating and removing the matrix effects. In this regard, a variety of extraction and isolation methods are presented by researchers. Therefore, in this paper it has been tried to introduce in detail the most important extraction methods used in the analysis of edible oils and how they are applied.
