Abstract: Commonly the direct construction and the description of mutually orthogonal Latin squares (MOLS) makes use of difference or quasi-difference matrices. Now there exists a correspondence between MOLS and separable permutation codes. We like to present separable permutation codes of length 35, 48, 63 and 96 and minimum distance 34, 47, 62 and 95 consisting of 6imes35, 10imes48, 8imes63 and 8imes96 codewords respectively. Using the correspondence this gives 6 MOLS for n=35, 10 MOLS for n=48, 8 MOLS for n=63 and 8 MOLS for n=96. So N(35)ge6, N(48)ge10, N(63)ge8 and N(96)ge8 holds which are new lower bounds for MOLS. The codes will be given by generators of an appropriate subgroup U of the isometry group of the symmetric group Sn and U-orbit representatives. This gives an alternative uniform way to describe the MOLS where the data for the codes can be used as input for computer algebra systems like MAGMA, GAP etc.
