one or more specified properties that have been
established to be fit for their intended use in a
measurement process, both qualitatively and
quantitatively.
Numerous technologies are available for the identification
and authentication of botanical materials including
assessing morphological characteristics via macroscopic
and microscopic methods, examining the plants
genome via DNA barcoding or sequencing, assessing
chromatographic profile “fingerprints” of the material’s
metabolome via HPLC and HPTLC, and spectroscopic
analysis of these constituents via NMR analysis, among
others. This session proposes to cover the following
essential topics by the listed speakers.

Synthetic Color Additives – Developing Modern
Analytical Methods and Reference Materials
Color additives (both synthetic and those derived from
natural sources) used in food and cosmetic products in
the United States and internationally are often complex
formulations that may be difficult to analyze using older
analytical tools often cited in compendia and other
publications. While some of these color additives require
certification by the FDA for sale/use in the United States,
others have no such requirement when approved for use
in other countries. The current lack of modern analytical
testing methods and reference materials may impede
international trade and usage of these color additives
in food and cosmetic products. Because these products
are often subject to additional scrutiny by regulators
and food and cosmetic manufacturers, we believe that
developing modern analytical techniques for identification,
assay, and determination of manufacturing impurities in
color additives should be an ongoing effort. This AOAC
Scientific Session provides initial briefings that speak
to the challenges on both the regulatory and analytical
scientific fronts, including these analytical methods.
This session is intended to further develop our AOAC
Community on Cosmetics and Color Additives.

Fighting against Drug/Food Fraud and
Adulteration: A Global Business
Adulteration of pharmaceutical and food products
represents a major global challenge and poses a serious
public health risk. The globalization of the supply chain
has made detection, identification, control, and disposal
of counterfeit products extremely difficult. Analytical
procedures are critical to identifying and controlling the
deliberate substitution of ingredients with inexpensive
