Determination of Microplastics in Omega-3 Oil Supplements

Опубликована: Апрель 2, 2024

The ubiquitous presence of microplastics (MPs) in the environment poses a threat to ecosystems and increases concerns about their exposure human body. However, despite being consumed for health improvement, limited research has been conducted on MPs functional foods. This study aimed investigate occurrence relation source raw material or manufacture various omega-3 oil Korean market. capsule oil, sourced from both plant-based (PB) animal-based (AB) sources, were investigated. We developed method by direct filtration with acetone washing analyzed greater than 5 μm using microscope-Raman spectroscopy. average number was found be 1.2 ± 1.7 MPs/g PB 2.2 AB 3.5 3.9 10.6 8.9 oil. Polypropylene polyethylene terephthalate major specious (83-95 %) ratio size range remained consistent across all groups, trend higher detection rates as diminished. results reveal that main reason contamination is not but manufacturing packaging process

Microplastics (MPs) are ubiquitous in the environment, posing a threat to ecosystems and causing increasing concerns regarding their impacts on human body through exposure. However, there has been limited research presence of MPs functional foods, despite them being consumed for health improvement. This study aimed investigate MP occurrence various omega-3 oils oil products Korean market its relation source raw material or manufacture. were investigated capsules oil, sourced from both plant-based (PB) animal-based (AB) sources. We developed method direct filtration with acetone washing collecting characterizing larger than 5 μm using micro-Raman spectroscopy. The average number by mass was found be 1.2 ± 1.7 MPs/g PB 2.2 AB 3.5 3.9 capsule 10.6 8.9 oil. Polypropylene polyethylene terephthalate major species (83-95%) proportions based size range remained consistent across all groups, trend detected at higher rates as decreased. results reveal that main reason contamination is not but manufacturing packaging process.
