Application of the Inverse Chronopotentiometry Method to Control the Content of Toxic Elements in Refining Production

Abstract

Ukraine is one of the world leading exporters of sunflower oil. An important safety indicator is the content of toxic elements in it, which should not exceed the maximum permissible concentrations. Toxic elements entering the human body reduce the functions of individual systems and organs and lead to immunodeficiency. The toxic elements by which food products are controlled include copper (Cu), zinc (Zn), iron (Fe), cadmium (Cd), lead (Pb), arsenic (As), and mercury (Hg).
