AOAC 133rd Annual Meeting - Final Program

BIOLAN MICROBIOSENSORES 2:00pm – 2:30pm | Governor’s Square 10 Biosensors for Food Safety Monitoring-Challenges and Solutions Biosensors are alternative biotechnological based tools to monitor key parameters along the processing and supply chain in order to ensure food quality and safety. The specificity, high sensitivity, speed and possibility of integration and their capacity to work in real-time are the most important characteristics of these devices to be competitive. Despite the large amount of research, only few biosensors for environmental and health applications have become a commercial reality. To achieve an effective transition from research to industry in the field of biosensors applied to food industry, some challenges need to be overcome. Here we present examples of commercially available biosensors for food safety monitoring, some of them certified as AOAC PTM, and future perspectives in this field. Exhibitor/Partner PRESENTATIONS 2:00pm – 3:00pm | Governor’s Square 15 Understanding and Combating Spice Fraud Spices are among the most frequently adulterated foods worldwide, often creating a public health risk. Detecting spice adulteration can be difficult because of the large number of spices that are used in food production and because of the many ways that adulteration can occur. This session will present an overview of the nature and extent of the problem and will introduce examples of solutions that involve both targeted and non-targeted approaches to detecting adulteration. The role of public standards, such as those in the Food Chemicals Codex, in protecting ingredient integrity and combating spice adulteration will be described.
