Embodiment 1-

[0081] Embodiment 1-control experiment

[0082] The above reaction procedure is used in the following examples. Soybean oil spiked with glycidyl oleate was mixed and heated to a maximum temperature of 90°C under argon. As shown in Table 2 below, the total glycidol concentration in the reaction mixture was measured over 30 minutes.

[0084] Reaction time Glycidol(ppm) adulterated soybean oil 22.35 Heat to 90°C 22.58 15 minutes 24.56 30 minutes 23.12

[0085] As shown in Table 2, there was no glycidyl / glycidyl oleate reduction in the absence of catalyst addition to the reaction mixture.

Embodiment 2

[0086] Example 2 - Silica zirconia catalyst dosage effect into reaction mixture

[0087] The catalyst synthesis and reaction methods described above are used in the following examples. Catalyst A of the present invention was added to soybean oil spiked with glycidyl oleate at 0.5%, 1.0%, 1.5% and 2.0% by weight based on the total weight of the silica-zirconia catalyst and soybean oil. The reaction mixture was mixed and heated to a maximum temperature of 90 °C under argon. As shown in Table 3 below, the concentration of total glycidol in the reaction mixture was measured before and after 30 minutes.

[0093] The catalyst synthesis and reaction methods described above are used in the following examples. Catalysts A, B, C and D of the present invention were added to soybean oil spiked with glycidyl oleate. A silica / zirconia catalyst of 2.0% by weight based on the total weight of catalyst and soybean oil was used. The reaction mixture was mixed and heated to a maximum temperature of 90 °C under argon. As shown in Table 4 below, the concentration of total glycidol in the reaction mixture was measured before and after 30 minutes.

[0094] Table 4. Glycidol reduction at various zirconia concentrations

Abstract

A method of using a silica-zirconia catalyst in a method of reducing the amount of glycidol, glycidyl ester, or both glycidol and glycidyl ester from a triglyceride-containing composition, such as an edible oil, is disclosed. The invention also discloses a silica-zirconia catalyst and a method for preparing the silica-zirconia catalyst.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the use of silica-zirconia catalysts in a process for reducing the amount of glycidol, glycidyl esters, or both glycidol and glycidyl esters in triglyceride-containing compositions. The invention also relates to silica-zirconia catalysts and methods of preparing silica-zirconia catalysts. Background technique [0002] Glycidyl esters are known carcinogens and mutagens present in processed edible oils. These thermally generated pollutants are formed at temperatures as low as 200°C; however, much higher temperatures are required to remove various volatile components in the oil during deodorization. After crude oil has undergone primary refining, bleaching, and deodorization (RBD), additional oil processing is required to reduce the glycidyl ester concentration to acceptable regulatory limits. These reduction methods include a combination of processes including, but not limited to, contacting the oil with enzymes, shear ...
