Innovative method of microwave assisted extraction of MOSH and MOAH in food

28 Feb 2024

In recent years, the assessment and quantification of the presence of mineral oil hydrocarbons, both aliphatic (MOSH) and aromatic (MOAH), has become a growing requirement for food quality control laboratories around the world. In this application note, explore how Milestone has developed a simple, accurate and faster method to perform the saponification in the sample preparation of contaminated food samples. Discover how the evaluation of MOSH and MOAH content was performed on different food matrices ranging from cereal products to fish and vegetable oils.

ETHOS X microwave extraction system for fat determination

Milestone

The process of fat determination in food and feed matrices is a routine analysis still relies on outdated and matrix-dependent methods which use obsolete and time-consuming technologies. The ETHOS X offers a new approach to gravimetric fat determination, moving toward a more modern, greener and more efficient approach to total fat, Fatty Acid Methyl Ester (FAME) and free fat determinations in food and feed matrices.
