AOAC-03 Preliminary Program

one or more specified properties that have been established to be fit for their intended use in a measurement process, both qualitatively and quantitatively.

This session is intended to further develop our AOAC Community on Cosmetics and Color Additives. CO-CHAIR: Bhakti Petigara Harp, U.S. Food and Drug Administration CO-CHAIR: Kristie Laurvick, U.S. Pharmacopeia (USP) • Wei Zhu, U.S. Pharmacopeial Convention Modernization of Standards for Synthetic Colorants: Analytical Methods and Reference Material • Robert Sheridan, New York State Department of Agriculture and Markets Food Laboratory Synthetic Colors in Food; Past and Present • Mark Goldschmidt, Sensient Technologies Establishing Quality and Safety Standards on Colors Exempt from Certification • Bhakti Petigara Harp, U.S. Food and Drug Administration Evaluation of Potential Color Adulteration of Green Table Olives

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. CO-CHAIR: Yanjun Zhang, Herbalife International of America Inc. CO-CHAIR: Peter Chang, Herbalife International of America Inc. • Wendy Applequist, Missouri Botanical Gardens Supply and Utilization of Botanical Reference Materials • Steven Newmaster, University of Guelph Botanical Species Ingredient Validation Using DNA- Based Molecular Diagnostic Tools • Congmei Cao, Herbalife International of America Inc. Chromatographic Chemical Profiling and Appropriate Use of Botanical Reference Materials (BRMs) for Botanical Ingredient Authentication • James Traub, Waters Corporation Technologies for Botanical Constituent Quantitation • Kimberly Colson, Bruker BioSpin Metabolomic Analysis for Botanical Ingredient Authentication by NMR 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.

TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 20, 2016 8:15 am – 9:45 am 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
