AOAC 2017 Annual Meeting Preliminary Program

MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 24, 2017 1:00 PM – 1:30 PM Harvey W. Wiley Address: Advances and Challenges in Establishing Residue Analysis System in India • Kaushik Banerjee, Ph.D. 1:30 PM – 3:00 PM Wiley Award Symposium: Advances in Food Analysis The 2017 Wiley Award Symposium is a gathering of scientists, colleagues, collaborators, peers, interested stakeholders, and friends that will honor this year’s recipient, Dr. Kaushik Banerjee of the ICAR-National Research Centre for Grapes in Pune, India. The esteemed speakers will present and discuss their current program activities and exciting research using advanced techniques to address issues in chemical contaminant and residue analysis as well as metabolomics in foods. These presentations are representative of the current and future directions and trends in food analysis and will discuss the methods, procedures, and instrumentation used for food authentication and safety. CO-CHAIR: Jon Wong, U.S. Food and Drug Administration, Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition CO-CHAIR: JoMarie Cook, Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services • Venkateswarlu Panchagnula, CSIR— National Chemical Laboratory “m/z” for the Masses: When High Throughput Meets High Resolution • Jian Wang, Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) Method Development for Quantitation and Target Screening of 450 Pesticides in Fruits and Vegetables using UHPLC Q-Orbitrap Full MS, ddMS2 and DIA • Zareen Khan, Rajiv Gandhi Institute for IT and Biotechnology Nutrimetabolomic Profiling of Grape Pomace using High Resolution Mass Spectrometry: Making Gain Out of Drain! • Katerina Mastovska, Covance Laboratories Inc. Addressing Challenges in Routine Analysis of Chemical Residues and Contaminants in Complex Samples Harmonization — One Big “Happy” Method Certification Family? The International Stakeholder Panel on Analytical Methods (ISPAM) worked hard several years ago, to agree on a number of key method validation criteria to try and bring the microbiology requirements for method comparison between ISO and AOAC INTERNATIONAL together. Many of the technical agreements from the ISPAM meetings were included in the updated publications of method validation protocols: • ISO 16140-2:2016 — Microbiology of the Food Chain — Method Validation • Official Methods of Analysis of AOAC INTERNATIONAL Appendix J: AOAC INTERNATIONAL Methods Committee Guidelines for Validation of Microbiological Methods for Food and Environmental Surfaces (2012) Finally, in 2017, a harmonized study has been conducted, following these “harmonized” criteria spelled out in BOTH method validation protocols, as well specific criteria as required by each Certification body (AOAC and AFNOR).

In this Symposium (Workshop), attendees will be: 1. Walked through the processes followed to ensure agreement with both Certification bodies before initiating, and required throughout, the conduction of a harmonized study; 2. Informed of key pros and cons involved in conducting this type of harmonized study 3. Informed of how you, too, can work towards conducting your own harmonized study CO-CHAIR: DeAnn Benesh, 3M Food Safety CO-CHAIR: Deborah McKenzie, AOAC INTERNATIONAL • Deborah McKenzie, AOAC INTERNATIONAL AOAC Method Conformity Assessment • Valentine Digonnet, AFNOR Certification NF Validation via AFNOR CERTIFICATION • Lisa Monteroso, 3M Food Safety Reality: Does Method Harmonization Work? • Erin Crowley, Q Laboratories, Inc. Expert and Independent Lab Coordination • Imola Ferro, NEN MicroVal: the 2 Birds, 1 Stone Approach Cannabis: What is in the Plant and How to Overcome Challenges in Analysis Cannabis continues to garner much attention both in the public and in the science industry. This session will begin by providing a brief overview of the plant, discussing its unique botanical attributes, pharmacognosy, and growth cycle, that make it such an interesting subject matter. Now legal for compassionate or “medical” use in 28 states and the District of Columbia, and legal for recreational or “adult use” in 6 states, regulatory bodies are confronted with a myriad of challenges. Challenges at present include the lack of standard/ consensus test methods, lack of traditional ISO/IEC 17043 proficiency test schemes, rapidly changing requirements about pest-control mechanisms, and overall assurance of stated ingredients of potency of major phytocannabinoids in finished products provided to the end-user consumers. This session will provide a summary of these challenges and also discuss the significant gains made by AOAC’s first Cannabis Advisory Panel and Working Group toward the development of what will likely become the first consensus analytical test methods. We will also discuss gains toward providing a statistically sound sampling plan, and gains in effective extraction and analytical instrumentation.
