The role of comprehensive two-dimensional gas chromatography in mineral oil determination

Gregory Bauwens et al.

Summary: Mineral oil hydrocarbons (MOH) are analyzed using the online coupled liquid chromatography-gas chromatography with flame ionization detection (LC-GC-FID) method, which lacks sufficient separation performance and may result in coelution of interfering compounds. Comprehensive two-dimensional gas chromatography (GC x GC) has proven to be relevant in overcoming the weaknesses of the LC-GC method and meeting the analytical requirements. This paper highlights the contributions of GC x GC in understanding MOH, meeting the determination requirements, and overcoming analytical and toxicological challenges.

A study on the impact of harvesting operations on the mineral oil contamination of olive oils

Luca Menegoz Ursol et al.

Summary: During the 2020-21 olive oil campaign, the contribution of harvesting operations to MOSH and MOAH contamination was studied. Hand-picked olives generally had low levels of MOSH and no quantifiable MOAH. However, contamination increased significantly after harvesting operations in 40% of the cases, with accidental leaks and contact with lubricated mechanical parts identified as important sources. Source identification was done through chromatographic traces obtained by HPLC-GC-FID, and confirmation and characterization were attempted using GC x GC with parallel FID/MS detection. Good harvesting practices are recommended to minimize contamination risks.

Quantification and characterization of mineral oil in fish feed by liquid chromatography-gas chromatography-flame ionization detector and liquid chromatography-comprehensive multidimensional gas chromatography-time-of-flight mass spectrometer/flame ionization detector

Gregory Bauwens et al.

Summary: This study analyzed seven commercial feeds and found consistent results between two laboratories. The combination of liquid-gas chromatography and liquid chromatography coupled with comprehensive multidimensional gas chromatography, along with parallel detection using flame ionization detector and time-of-flight mass spectrometer, allowed for a more comprehensive characterization of the contaminants.

Toxicological safety assessment of essential oils used as food supplements to establish safe oral recommended doses

Isabelle Sartori Tamburlin et al.

Summary: This study proposes a tiered approach for toxicological evaluation of essential oils used as food supplements, aiming to establish safe recommended doses. By assessing the maximized concentrations of each constituent, potential genotoxic substances can be identified and evaluated, ensuring the safety of recommended doses.

Occurrence of Mineral Oil Hydrocarbons in Omega-3 Fatty Acid Dietary Supplements

Alessia Arena et al.

Summary: This study investigated the presence of mineral oil hydrocarbons in 17 commercial samples of Omega-3 fatty acid dietary supplements. Levels of contamination ranged from 2.4 ppm to 375.7 ppm, with an average value of 49.9 ppm, mainly consisting of saturated hydrocarbons. Most samples were free of mineral oil aromatic hydrocarbons contamination.

Use of a low-cost, lab-made Y-interface for liquid-gas chromatography coupling for the analysis of mineral oils in food samples

Mariosimone Zoccali et al.

Summary: Consumers are exposed to mineral oil hydrocarbons through food consumption, with major sources being packaging, additives, processing aids, and lubricants. A low-cost, lab-made Y-interface for liquid-gas chromatography was developed for the determination of MOSH and MOAH in foodstuffs. The study found only a few samples with saturated hydrocarbon contamination and one sample with MOAH contamination.

Mineral oil risk assessment: Knowledge gaps and roadmap. Outcome of a multi-stakeholders workshop

Andrea Hochegger et al.

Summary: The key issue in the field of MOH risk analysis and management lies in the lack of standardized and validated analytical methods for good inter-laboratory reproducibility. There is also a major gap in exposure estimation due to limited surveys covering a wide range of foods and major sources of contamination other than packaging in paperboard. Additional toxicological studies are needed to better understand the hazards of MOH for a more comprehensive human health risk assessment.
