The total 3-MCPD were derivatized with n-Heptafluorobutyrylimidazole (HFBI) for GC–MS analysis during dispersive liquid–liquid microextraction (DLLME). An asymmetrical 2213//8 screening design was used to study the influence of critical factors on the method's effectiveness. The analytical features of the proposed method were assessed following Food and Drug Administration (FDA) guidelines using extra virgin olive oil (EVOO) as a blank sample. Outstanding results were achieved in terms of linearity (r2 = 0.9995), sensitivity, precision (2.1 % to 10.4 % RSD), and accuracy (98.7 % ≤ recovery ≤ 101.9 %). Method efficacy was tested by comparing the results of 10 edible oils for total 3-MCPD with those reported in previous works. A total of 41 samples were analyzed. The lowest 3-MCPD content was found in samples of albacore canned in EVOO oil, while the highest amounts were found in albacore, mackerel, and Atlantic saury samples, all preserved in refined sunflower oil PB Elsevier YR 2023 FD 2023 LK http://hdl.handle.net/10347/29396 UL http://hdl.handle.net/10347/29396 LA eng NO Food Chemistry 403 (2023) 134423. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.foodchem.2022.134423 NO This work was supported by the Spanish Ministry of Science, Innovation, and Universities (Project RTI2018‐096450‐B‐I00) and FEDER funds DS Minerva RD 28 abr 2026
