The effects of alkaline treatments on the content of3-nrnochloropropandiol (3-MCPD) in soybean meal hydrolysate were studied. The frill-fat, de-fatted and re-defatted soybean meal which contained 11.77%, 1.19% and 0.25% oil respectively were hydrolyzed with 2N, 4N and 6N HC1 solution The production of 3-MCPD decreased with reduced oil content of soybean meal and HC1 concentration The contents of 3-MCPD decreased in soybean meal hydrolysate after alkaline treatments The content of 3-MCPD in soybean meal hydrolysate decreased with the increase of pH value of the alkaline solution.
