Printing workstation CHRONECT MOSH/MOAH

modular

Undesirable mineral oil residues are found in numerous foods or food contact materials: Saturated hydrocarbons (MOSH - mineral oil saturated hydrocarbons) and aromatic hydrocarbons (MOAH - mineral oil aromatic hydrocarbons). While the first substance class accumulates in the human body, the second compound class is suspected to contain carcinogenic substances. These substances can enter food through numerous contamination pathways. Contamination pathways for MOSH/MOAH in food Recycled packaging materials produced from newspapers or magazines: The use of printing inks containing mineral oil is responsible for gas phase migration into the food. Accidents during the transport or production of a food product. Mineral oil-based lubricants within the production chain. And many more. In 2009, the Federal Institute for Risk Assessment in Germany (BfR) confirmed that these substances are harmful to health. In its assessment, the BfR came to the conclusion that the transition from mineral oils to food should be urgently minimized. Measurements are recommended. Advantages of measuring with the CHRONECT Workstation MOSH/MOAH Halved analysis time due to 2-channel setup for simultaneous determination of MOSH and MOAH Removal of interferences by means of epoxidation and AlOx-Cleanup Options such as GCxGC-MS analysis or MOSH depletion available Specialized software for the evaluation of Humps Specially trained support team System setup based on over 10 years of experience with MOSH/MOAH analysis Continuous development in cooperation with over 150 customers
