Mineral Oil Hydrocarbons (MOHs) Test

Mineral oil testing refers to the process of detecting and analyzing the mineral oil components in items such as food, drugs, cosmetics, food packaging materials, etc. Mineral oil refers to the oily substances produced during the extraction or processing of petroleum, mainly including mineral hydrocarbons and aromatic hydrocarbons. Mineral oil may exist in raw materials, lubricants during production, ink and tape of packaging materials in food, medicine, cosmetics, food packaging materials, etc., posing potential hazards to human health and the environment. Radio and Television Metrology has standardized mineral oil determination capabilities, a sound quality assurance system, strict implementation of current national standards, high-end testing equipment and accurate testing data, to safeguard the quality of enterprise products.

Detect the mineral oil content in various packaging materials such as cardboard and printing ink that come into contact with food
Our company has the ability to meet the MOSH and MOAH content testing requirements of French mineral oil pipeline control:

Mineral oil is used as an additive in food contact materials such as plastics, adhesives, rubber products, cardboard, printing inks, and as a lubricant, defoamer, cleaner, and non stick agent in the production of food and food contact materials.

Food and food contact materials are contaminated by environmental factors and unintentional additives.

Paper and cardboard containing recycled paper fibers are important sources of mineral oil contamination in food.

Mineral oil has a wide range of applications, such as lubricating oil, insulating oil, solvents for various motors, and daily chemical products.

Regular cycle: 5-7 working days

Mineral Oil Hydrocarbons (MOHs) are a class of extremely complex chemical mixtures, which are hydrocarbon compounds produced by physical separation, chemical conversion, or liquefaction of coal, natural gas, or biomass from petroleum crude oil. It mainly includes saturated hydrocarbon mineral oils (MOSH) composed of straight, branched, and cyclic chains, and aromatic hydrocarbon mineral oils (MOAH) composed of polyaromatic compounds.

The risk of mineral oil contamination in food and food packaging paper has attracted high attention from various countries. Mineral oil has been detected in food contact materials such as food packaging paper, pizza packaging boxes, and hot melt adhesives, especially dry foods packaged in recycled paper and cardboard, which are often contaminated with MOSH and MOAH. Some samples have MOSH levels exceeding the safety threshold recommended by the Joint Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) by 10-100 times. Saturated hydrocarbon mineral oil (MOSH) has bioaccumulation, aromatic hydrocarbon mineral oil (MOAH) has mutagenicity and carcinogenicity, as well as potential endocrine disruptors.

Mineral oil pollution is an undeniable source of pollution in modern industry, and it is particularly important to do a good job in monitoring residual mineral oil pollution.
