Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of grain and oil processing technology, and more specifically, relates to a detoxifying agent, its preparation method, and its application. Background Technology

[0002] During the production of edible oils, the inconsistent quality of raw materials, coupled with high-temperature seed roasting, can easily lead to excessive levels of harmful substances (benzo[a]pyrene) in the pressed products. Benzo[a]pyrene (BaP, C 20 H 12 Benzo[a]pyrene is a polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon composed of five benzene rings and has been proven to be highly carcinogenic, causing cancers of the skin, lungs, and digestive tract. In 2006, the World Health Organization upgraded its carcinogenicity level from "probably carcinogenic to humans" to the highest level, "determined human carcinogen." International standards stipulate that the content of benzo[a]pyrene in oils and their products must not exceed 10 μg / kg. Corn oil production relies on corn germ as raw material. If the raw material is not properly screened, contaminated corn germ may directly enter the pressing process, and the fat-soluble zearalenone will migrate into the crude oil. Although refining processes (such as degumming and deacidification) can partially remove zearalenone, if the initial contamination of the raw material is severe or the process parameters are not up to standard, residues may still occur. The limit for zearalenone in corn oil in the European Union is 200 ppb. Benzo[a]pyrene and zearalenone are prone to accumulation in contaminated oilseeds due to their strong lipophilicity, or improper processing can easily lead to excessive levels in oils. In existing technologies, activated clay is commonly used to remove zearalenone and benzo[a]pyrene, but the results are not ideal. How to efficiently remove harmful substances from oils and fats is a technical problem that urgently needs to be solved. Summary of the Invention
