What is the typical MOSH and MOAH content in food grade lubricants?

04 March 2021 1 2K Report

With the call for lower MOSH and MOAH levels in edible oils, there is a push towards using Food Grade lubricants. What is the content of MOSH/MOAH in food grade lubricants?

Shyam Lakshmanan

Could depend very much upon the level of contamination of the food with lubricant. We have seen figures as high as 70ppm in CPO. The refining process wont remove this. We have also seen figures as low as single digits in CPO from mills thjat have good systems in place.
