Abstract:
      Microplastics are minuscule contaminant, measuring less than 5 mm in diameter, that result from the fragmentation of plastic products and have become ubiquitous throughout the ecosystem. These microplastics are frequently ingested by animals during feeding or absorbed by plants as they draw nutrients from their surroundings, ultimately accumulated within organisms to produce a range of hazards. Although microplastics exhibit high lipophilicity, the potential contamination via vegetable oils has not been fully recognized. The contamination risk posed by microplastics in vegetable oils during processing, transportation and storage and the hazards of microplastics were analyzed, then the methods for detecting and removing microplastics from vegetable oils were summarized, aiming to provide some reference for controlling microplastics contamination of vegetable oils.
