Mineral oil is a mixture of complex hydrocarbons, mainly cyclic paraffins and alkanes (ideally 15 to 40 percent carbons). Mineral oil is chemically the same as petroleum jelly or white mineral oil, except it is liquid petroleum which makes it an ideal choice for several applications.
Mineral oil hydrocarbons (MOH), or mineral oil products, considered in this opinion are hydrocarbons containing 10 to about 50 carbon atoms. Crude mineral oils are by far the predominant source of the MOH considered, but equivalent products can be synthesised from coal, natural gas or biomass.ollowing a request from the European Commission, the EFSA Panel on Contaminants in the Food Chain (CONTAM Panel) was asked to deliver a scientific opinion on mineral oil hydrocarbons (MOH) in Food.
