Possible Factors that Cause the Formation of 3-Monochloropropane-1, 2-diol (3-MCPD) Esters

The 3-Monochloropropane-1,2-diol (3-MCPD) esters have been detected in thermally treated foodstuff such as breadcrumbs and crusts (Doležal et al., 2009), coffee (Doležal et al., 2005), baked cereal products (Hamlet and Sadd 2004) and doughnuts and french-fries (Svejkovska et al., 2004).
