Understanding Total Polar Compounds in Oil: A Key Indicator of Oil Quality and Safety

In the food and oil processing industry, maintaining the quality and safety of edible oils is crucial. One of the most significant indicators of oil degradation during use, especially during frying, is the formation of Total Polar Compounds (TPCs) . These compounds play a vital role in determining whether the oil is still suitable for consumption or needs to be discarded. What Are Total Polar Compounds?

Monitoring TPC levels is essential for both food safe...
