b 3785

B 3785 is a biochemical.

rac-1,2-bis-Palmitoyl-3-chloropropanediol is a 3-monochloropropane-1,2-diol (3-MCPD) ester.1It has been found as a contaminant in edible olive oils, with the lowest and highest concentrations in extra virgin and olive pomace oils, respectively.rac-1,2-bis-Palmitoyl-3-chloropropanediol has also been found in cottonseed and palm oils, as well as in shortening.2It induces renal tubular necrosis and a decrease in spermatids, but no gross pathological changes, in mice.3 1.Hung, W.-C., Peng, G.-J., Tsai, W.-J., et al.Identification of 3-MCPD esters to verify the adulteration of extra virgin olive oilFood Addit.
