Mineral Oil Hydrocarbons (MOH) are chemical substances that can be found in mineral oil. They can contaminate food and are potentially toxic to humans. The two main types of MOH are: MOSH: Mineral Oil Saturated Hydrocarbons, which either directly stem from crude oil or form during the refining process. The MOSH fraction includes substances like ...

Aug 1, 2017 · Andreas Adam explains everything you need to know regarding mineral oil saturated hydrocarbons (MOSH) and mineral oil aromatic hydrocarbons (MOAH).

Sep 13, 2023 · Mineral oil hydrocarbons (MOH) comprise a wide range of chemical compounds obtained mainly from petroleum distillation and refining. They are categorised into two main groups referred to as MOSH (Mineral Oil Saturated Hydrocarbons) and MOAH (Mineral Oil Aromatic Hydrocarbons).

Mineral oil hydrocarbons (MOH) are compounds that can be obtained through the distillation of crude oil. The term is commonly used to refer to mineral oils that are used for fuels such as gasoline, diesel fuel, kerosine, heating oil, as well as lubricants and solvents.

Dec 16, 2021 · Mineral oil hydrocarbons (MOH) comprise a diverse group of mixtures of hydrocarbons containing thousands of chemical compounds of different structures and size, derived mainly from crude oil but also produced synthetically from coal, natural gas and biomass.

Sep 13, 2023 · Mineral oil hydrocarbons can enter food in many ways - through environmental contamination, use of lubricants for machinery, release agents, processing aids, food or feed additives and migration from food contact materials. The potential human health impact of …

Jun 30, 2017 · Mineral oil hydrocarbons (MOHs) are complex chemical mixtures. MOHs are generally derived from crude oil. They mainly consist of mineral oil saturated hydrocarbons (MOSH) and mineral oil aromatic hydrocarbons (MOAH).

“Mineral Oil Aromatic Hydrocarbons" (MOAH). On January 16, 2017, the European Commission (EC) adopted Recommendation (EU) 2017/84 on the monitoring of mineral oil hydrocarbons in food and in materials and articles intended to come into contact with food.

MOAH: mineral oil aromatic hydrocarbons; Currently the routine analysis and quantification of mineral oil is carried out via an online-LC-GC-FID technique, which enables the quantification of MOSH/POSH/PAO and MOAH within one chromatographical run.

Jun 6, 2012 · Mineral oil saturated hydrocarbons (MOSH) consist of linear and branched alkanes, and alkyl-substituted cyclo-alkanes, whilst mineral oil aromatic hydrocarbons (MOAH) include mainly alkyl-substituted polyaromatic hydrocarbons.
