This study assessed saturated mineral oil hydrocarbons (MOSH) and aromatic mineral oil hydrocarbons (MOAH) levels in grower–finisher feeds for pigs supplemented with 5% crude palm oil (CP), crude olive pomace oil (COP), olive pomace acid oil (O...
Legislative frameworks about contamination are often limited to foods and underestimate the role of animal nutrition for safe production. This study aims to assess mineral oil hydrocarbon (MOH) contamination in feed and identify the technological fac...
Mineral oil hydrocarbons (MOH), comprising saturated (MOSH) and aromatic (MOAH) compounds, are ubiquitous lipophilic contaminants. This review critically examines their occurrence, toxicology, analysis, contamination sources, and mitigation strategie...
Due to food complexity and the low amount at which contaminants are usually present in food, their analytical determination can be particularly challenging. Conventional sample preparation methods making use of large solvent volumes and involving int...
Omega-3 fatty acid dietary supplements have become increasingly popular with consumers due to their multiple health benefits. In this study, the presence of mineral oil hydrocarbons (MOH) was investigated in seventeen commercial samples of such suppl...
The aim of this work was to understand the actual content of mineral oil hydrocarbons (MOH) in olive pomace oil in order to contribute to the monitoring requested by EFSA for the food groups making a relevant impact on human background exposure. Such...
This study investigates the presence of mineral oil hydrocarbons (MOHs) in corn silage, aiming to assess contamination levels and identify potential sources, including technological and environmental factors. Given the increasing concern regarding th...
Three different vegetable oils, namely coconut oil, palm olein and olive oil, were analyzed for mineral oil hydrocarbons (MOHs) in our laboratory and in five commercial laboratories well recognized for their expertise in this field. The analysis cons...
Mineral oil hydrocarbons (MOH) are increasingly reported in agri-food systems, but their presence in dairy production is not yet fully characterized. This study investigated the occurrence of mineral oil saturated hydrocarbons (MOSH) and mineral oil...
The current demand to cut back on the use of plastic materials has brought a major boost to the search for bio-based alternatives. Not only are plastic bags and primary food packaging under scrutiny here, but also those materials used as functional b...
