2019 AOAC Annual Meeting - Preliminary Program

WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 11, 2019 8:15 am – 9:45 am Community Perspectives of Food Allergen Measurement The measurement of protein allergens in food presents challenges for a large community that includes regulators, food manufactur- ers, assay manufacturers, and reference material providers. This symposium will bring together members of these communities to provide their perspectives on the current and future challenges of measuring protein allergens in food and foodstuff. Short presen- tations will provide ample time for the audience to ask questions, share knowledge, and give their opinions about the measure- ment challenges they face related to food allergens. Co-Chair : David Bunk, U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology Co-Chair : Carmen Diaz-Amigo, FOCOS GbR Co-Chair : Jupiter Yeung, Nestlé Terry Koerner, Health Canada Regulatory Perspective of the Measurement of Protein Allergens in Food Jason Robotham, BioFront Technologies Assay Manufacturers Perspective of the Measurement of Protein Allergens in Food Sneh Bhandari, Mérieux NutriSciences Food Manufacturers Perspective of the Measurement of Protein Allergens in Food David Bunk, U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology Reference Material Provider Perspective of the Measurement of Protein Allergens in Food Steven Moser Memorial Session: Advanced Topics in Pesticide Analytical Methods Pesticide residues in foods result from the wide application of pesticides in agriculture to fight against pests and increase crop/food yields. Pesticide analysis has several challenges despite recent advances in separation procedures and mass spectrometry detection. These challenges include: new and emerging pesticides, complex food and agricultural matrices, large scale multiresidue or unique single residue procedures, and low detection levels. The session will address these topics by bringing scientific experts together from academia, government, private laboratory, and industry to discuss their research, experi- ence, and perspectives on the challenges in pesticide analysis. This session is dedicated to the memory of Mr. Steven Moser, who was the AOAC Pesticide Subgroup Co-Chair, until he passed away in 2018. Steven was a Pesticide Laboratory Supervisor with the Oklahoma Department of Agriculture, Food & Forestry, an expert on pesticide residue analysis, and was very generous with his extensive knowledge of pesticides and pesticide analytical methods and commitment to AOAC. The AOAC Pesticide Community honors his leadership, expertise, and friendship.

Alternative Models for Characterizing Data Statistical data analysis has always been a challenge for most scientists. The proper use and interpretation of experimental measurements is even more challenging. It is the intent of this symposium to encourage the proper use of Statistical Evaluation of experimental data, from the single experiment to the Collaborative Study, by every scientist who measures anything in the laboratory. The focus will be on providing and illustrating improved models of characterizing Data with appropriate error analysis.
