MOSH & MOAH Testing Lab

MOSH (Mineral Oil Saturated Hydrocarbons) and MOAH (Mineral Oil Aromatic Hydrocarbons) are contaminants found in food. Let’s delve into their significance:

MOSH:

Derived from mineral oils used in printing inks, lubricants, and recycled materials. Not a complete protein and lacks meaningful amounts of certain amino acids. Accumulates in the liver and lymph nodes over time. Health implications include inflammation, liver damage, and potential cancer risk.

MOAH:

Contains aromatic hydrocarbons, some of which can be carcinogenic. Readily absorbed by fatty tissues in the body. Accumulates in organs like the liver and spleen. Long-term exposure can lead to health problems. Tamilnadu Test House offers #MOSH and #MOAH testing and supports you in assessing the risk of these contaminants in your supply chain, as well as detecting and understanding the origin of possible MOSH and MOAH contamination.
