AOAC RI ERP E-Book - DS DF

required HPLC columns. These collaborators were requested to concentrate the SDFS fractions and ship them to Megazyme where the HPLC analysis would be performed and results returned to the collaborator. Results from this evaluation were discussed with the particular collaborator, with the aim of identifying problems. All results were shared with all collaborators (specific collaborator results remained confidential). In the third Stage, 16 samples were sent to each collaborator as eight blind duplicates. These were analysed for HMWDF and SDFS. This set of samples contained food materials as well as samples containing resistant starch. Results from this study were received after approximately 3-4 months and were analysed using the AOAC International statistics program.
