Although the panel understood the importance of standards for açai, there were questions about its
viability as an SPDS ingredient. Atkinson had submitted a paper by Alexander Schauss, AIBMR Life
Sciences discussing the subject. The Advisory Panel agreed to choose açai as a Set 8 ingredient on
the condition that AOAC further investigate the need for standards in this area and whether or not
methods already exist. ACTION for AOAC to discuss this further with Atkinson and Schauss and
report back to the Advisory Panel on this matter at the spring Advisory Panel teleconference.
ACTION for Atkinson to do an email introduction for Frazier and Schauss. Scullcap was chosen as a
backup ingredient if the panel decides not to move forward on açai. The group then held a brief
discussion on potential working group members, chairs, and/or organizations that should be
included in these new working groups.
