Oral Posters from Dietary Supplements and Botanicals
This session is dedicated to all those who participate and present their
work in the form of posters at the 131st AOAC INTERNATIONAL Annual
Meeting. This is a meeting of peers and only quality work is channeled
through for presentations. The proposed session is an effort to showcase
presenters from select posters in botanical and dietary supplements
category. There will be four to five presenters who will be selected by
a special jury panel of peers and will be invited to present their work
as a full oral presentation in this session. The names of the selected
presenters will be disclosed at a later date and included in the AOAC
Final Program. This type of session has already started a new trend in
AOAC by offering an opportunity to new scientists to present their work
to a diverse audience.

TDLM/TDRM Symposium: The Impact of FSMA
on Your Laboratory
With FSMA, laboratories are receiving requests for activities that are
new to them. They are being asked to implement new procedures. They
have to produce more information and different information. How do you
manage these new demands on your existing laboratory?
This session will present what some of these new requests are and why
they are new. Then suggested approaches for managing them will be
presented. For example, does the new requirement mean you will need to
train staff or is the existing skill set in your staff adequate?
FSMA requires the use of Preventative Controls. These are understood in
terms of the food industry in general; however, what does Preventative
Controls mean for your laboratory? This session will focus not only
on describing these new requirements, but will suggest ways and
techniques for you to manage these changes for your laboratory.

New Mycotoxin Challenges: Occurrence and Detection
Current legislation has set maximum and/or guidance levels for
mycotoxins to protect consumers from their toxic effects, depending
on the region. These legislations only cover toxins with well-known
toxic effects, such as aflatoxins, fumonisins, deoxynivalenol, and
others. In recent years, modern analytical techniques have made the
determination of various other fungal metabolites possible. These so-
called emerging mycotoxins as well as masked or modified mycotoxins
have been shown to occur frequently in agricultural commodities. Their
full effects on human and animal health have not been determined at
this time. In addition, as maximum levels are currently not set for these
emerging toxins, these compounds may represent a threat to humans
and animals. This session will give insights on the global occurrence of
these emerging and masked/modified mycotoxins. Furthermore, current
data on their effects will be discussed and currently available detection
methods and new methods under development will be presented. Finally,
ways to protect the consumers with risk assessments and the setting of
maximum levels will be discussed.
