accuracy was assessed by spike and recovery of all-
trans
-lutein
and β-carotene in various matrixes. Spiking was done with
either FloraGlo 5% lutein (DSM Nutritional Products, Basel,
Switzerland), which was first dispersed in water and added
to the sample in place of water, or with diluted standards
added to the ISTD. Spiked and unspiked samples were
measured in triplicate. Tables 11–17 show that recovery from
spiked samples ranged from 92.3 to 105.5% for lutein and
from 100.1 to 107.5% for β-carotene. The SMPR calls for
90–110% recovery from spiked samples, and all data met this
requirement.
Conclusions
The data presented here were reviewed by the AOAC
Expert Review Panel on SPIFAN Nutrient Methods at the AOAC
INTERNATIONAL Annual Meeting in Dallas, TX, held in
September 2016. The panel found that the data met the criteria
