Mineral oils MOSH, POSH and MOAH

Determination of mineral oil hydrocarbons, MOSH (mineral oil saturated hydrocarbons), POSH (polyolfin oligomeric saturated hydrocarbons) and MOAH (mineral oil aromatic hydrocarbons) in food, in food simulants, in packagings or investigation of the barrier of packaging materials against it.

Test Method Group: specific migration

Norms:
  • BfR-method LC-GC-FID (2019)
  • In-house method (external provider) Inhouse method of an external provider

Required Sample Amount: 10 x DIN A4 per simulant (please label the food-contact side) or 20 containers or 250g food, packed in aluminium foil

Standard Tests

mineral oil_ migration

Specific Norm: BfR-Methode LC-GC-FID

Please choose this method, if the specific migration of MOSH (Mineral Oil Saturated Hydrocarbons)/ POSH (Polyolefin Oligomeric Saturated Hydrocarbons) and MOAH (Mineral Oil Aromatic Hydrocarbons) with simulant E (Poly(2,6-diphenyl-p-phenylenoxid) (Tenax ®)) should be determined.

mineral oil_ residual content in packagings

Specific Norm: BfR-Methode LC-GC-FID

Please choose this method, if the residual content of MOSH (Mineral Oil Saturated Hydrocarbons)/ POSH (Polyolefin Oligomeric Saturated Hydrocarbons) and MOAH (Mineral Oil Aromatic Hydrocarbons) in the material should be determined.

mineral oil_ residual content in food

Specific Norm: BfR-Methode LC-GC-FID

Please choose this method, if the residual content of MOSH (Mineral Oil Saturated Hydrocarbons)/ POSH (Polyolefin Oligomeric Saturated Hydrocarbons) and MOAH (Mineral Oil Aromatic Hydrocarbons) in food should be determined.

mineral oil barrier

Specific Norm: SVI- Methode 2015.01

Measuring of the efficiency of barriers against the migration of mineral oil from recycled paper, board and corrugated board.
