AOAC-03 Preliminary Program

• Jennifer Voyksner, Immunogenics, LLC Towards a Validated Multiplexed LC-MS Method for the Detection of Allergens in Processed, Fermented,

parts per billion (ppb or µg/L). An update on As totals and speciation methods for detection in wine will be presented. Nickel in foods: a wide variety of food commodities is proposed for monitoring starting in 2016 and going on until 2018 for Codex. Cadmium in Coca: Proposed draft maximum levels for cadmium in chocolate and cocoa-derived products in the EU will be discussed, as well as methods used for its detection. HOT TOPIC #4: So new, we have to wait for its press release before being able to add to this abstract. This AOAC session would like to address these pressing issues with experts from government, industry, and academia sides. We will cover the methods that are currently being used, and the current regulations in the U.S. and around the world. CO-CHAIR: Jenny Nelson, Agilent Technologies, Inc.

Foodborne pathogens colonized in food processing facilities have been indicated as the primary source of contamination in final food products linked to many foodborne outbreaks and cases. Effective environmental sampling methods could facilitate not only the outbreak traceback, but also the development of preventive control strategies. Foodborne pathogens in environmental samples could be heavily injured and high levels of background flora are usually present. In addition, mixed strains of the same species could be present in the same facility. All these factors pose challenges to the detection of target pathogens in environmental samples, especially when traditional microbiological methods for food analysis are employed.

Hydrolyzed and Distilled Foods • Nathalie Gillard, CER Groupe

Multi-Allergen Detection in Processed Foodstuffs by UHPLC-MS/MS and Perspectives for Food Control • Jens Brockmeyer, University of Stuttgart Targeted Proteomics for the Specific Detection of Food Allergens Using MRM and MS3-Based Methods • Melanie Downs, University of Nebraska High-Resolution, Accurate-Mass MS: Application to Food Allergen Analysis Facing the Analytical Challenges of Pesticide Residue Analysis—Unknowns, Difficult Pesticides/ Matrices and High Resolution MS The session comprises of world experts who are at the forefront of modern pesticide residue analysis. The audience will learn about their experiences such as utilization of liquid chromatography-high resolution mass spectrometry to identify and quantitate unknown pesticide residues, analytical approaches to address difficult pesticides and matrices, and protocols in the development and validation of multiresidue pesticide procedures.
