Automated Analysis of MOSH/MOAH in food and packaging extracts by LC-GC-FID
Author(s)GERSTEL
The AppNote describes the fully automated determination of MOSH/MOAH in Food and Packaging extracts following DIN EN 16995. Industrial production, processing and transportation invariably put food at risk of contamination with MOSH/MOAH. To ensure a reasonable cost benefit balance, high laboratory productivity and good quality of results, leading contract laboratories increasingly strive to automate their processes. An example is the determination of MOSH/MOAH using a LC-GC-FID Coupling Platform. Depending on the sample matrix, additional automated sample preparation by aluminum oxide clean-up, epoxidation, and/or saponification is necessary prior to analysis. The dedicated evaluation software integrates the complex MOSH/MOAH chromatograms accurately and reproducibly.
