WELCOME FROM THE PRESIDENT OF AOAC INTERNATIONAL

Dear Colleagues, On behalf of the entire Board of Directors and staff of AOAC INTERNATIONAL, welcome to the 131 st Annual Meeting and Exposition in Atlanta, Georgia. It’s going to be a great week of advancing standards development activities and finding the best methods in the areas most important to our stakeholders. And, of course, catching up with old friends and making new connections. This is an especially exciting time to be part of the important work of the association—a world-class leader in providing science-based solutions through voluntary consensus standards development and Official Methods SM . It is a time for new ideas, new engagements, and empowerment at AOAC. The Board of Directors has been actively engaged in new strategic planning and is moving on an ambitious goal to take AOAC to the next level in international outreach and engagement. In fact, members of the staff and Board have been working closely with an outstanding consulting firm throughout the spring, culminating in a mid-June planning retreat where the foundation was laid for the new strategic directions that AOAC INTERNATIONAL is beginning to pursue. One of the best examples of the association’s important work can be seen at the AOAC Annual Meeting and Exposition, where members’ passion for science is unsurpassed. I urge you to attend at least one of the stakeholder panels, working groups, or expert review panels and see for yourself the proven AOAC process in action. AOAC stakeholders have a voice in driving priorities, setting standards, and recommending the best methods that are fit-for-purpose and most needed in their respective communities. One of AOAC’s greatest strengths is its ability to bring people together from around the globe, representing various sectors and with unique and diverse perspectives to work together toward a common goal. This remarkable collaborative process has resulted in a myriad of voluntary consensus, globally recognized and accepted standards and methods that can help solve global food safety issues.

WILEY AWARD ADDRESS Advances and Challenges in Establishing Residue Analysis System in India

MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 25, 2017 1:00PM – 1:30PM

Kaushik Banerjee, National Referral Laboratory, Indian Council of Agricultural Research-National Research Centre for Grapes, Pune, India

In this year’s Harvey W. Wiley Award Address, at the 131st AOAC Annual Meeting and Exposition in Atlanta, GA, Wiley Award winner Kaushik Banerjee from the National Referral Laboratory, Indian Council of Agricultural Research-National Research Centre for Grapes, Pune, India, reflects on the technical advancements and challenges in developing an agrochemical residue analysis system in India over the last 14 years. He stresses the importance of precise and accurate analysis in establishing and sustaining food safety traceability systems in agricultural crops. The Harvey W. Wiley Award is AOAC INTERNATIONAL’s top scientific honor, given annually for career accomplishments in the analytical sciences. Banerjee will outline the workflow of agrochemical residue analysis that starts with optimized random sampling at pre- and post-harvest levels, followed by sample extraction, cleanup, and final analysis by mass spectrometry (MS). In addition, he will highlight the importance of high-quality analytical test results that govern optimization of each step in residue analysis. India’s pesticide residue control system was first established in 2004 for table grapes, with plot level traceability of test samples beginning with release of a consignment into the market. In developing appropriate analytical methods, Banerjee and his team initially focused on a multiclass, multiresidue analysis method for monitoring a list of about 50 agrochemicals, including chlorinated hydrocarbons, organophosphorus, and carbamate pesticides. Considering the typical carbohydrate-rich and low-fat nature of Indian fruits and vegetables, the preferred solvent for extraction was ethyl acetate. Efforts were taken to minimize solvent and reagent requirements, so that methods were cost-effective and easy to adopt by Indian food testing laboratories. The optimized protocol was, therefore, rapid, precise, accurate, economically viable, and had high throughput. For the first time in India, tandem MS methods were implemented for residue testing on both GC and LC-MS systems. In addition, a detailed analytical quality control procedure [per the European Commission Directorate-General Health and Food Safety (DG SANTE) guidelines] was put into practice. The method was gradually expanded to cover a number of compounds based on pesticide usage information in India and detection statistics in importing countries. Prior to 2004, residue analysis in India was performed by gas chromatography- and high-performance liquid chromatography-based methods, using relatively nonselective detectors (e.g., ECD and UV). The use of MS in quantitative residue analysis was a new concept for Indian laboratories. Between 2004 and 2010, the infrastructure of laboratories in India was highly variable. Another challenge was dealing with differences in competence levels across the laboratories. Thus, efforts were focused on establishing validated methods to fit various technologies, including single quad, ion trap, triple quad, and time-of-flight (TOF) MS. Strategies were implemented so that laboratories could perform residue testing through their existing facilities, with desired accuracy in compliance with analytical quality control criteria. Organizing fit-for-purpose capacity building programs was important for the residue analysis system. Banerjee and his team received support from experts across the globe, including scientists from the U.S. Food and Drug

WILEY AWARD ADDRESS, Continued

Administration—Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition, U.S. Department of Agriculture, and various EU reference laboratories. In 2010, export of table grapes from India suffered an economic blow when a plant growth retardant, chlormequat chloride, was detected. The issue necessitated expansion of the residue control program to cover all agrochemicals registered for usage in agriculture and public health managements. Banerjee’s team expanded the scope of the multiresidue method by covering more than 200 chemicals for regular monitoring in each consignment of fresh grapes and other fruits and vegetables for export. Similar residue monitoring and control programs are also being implemented in other agricultural commodities and for the domestic market. Banerjee will explain development of residue methods for complex matrices (e.g., tobacco, spices, chicken meat, and fatty fish) for the analysis of pesticides, persistent organic pollutants, mycotoxins, antibiotics, and drug residues. During the Wiley Award Address, Banerjee will highlight efforts undertaken since 2010 to develop effective methods for typically problematic, single-residue compounds, which mostly include plant hormones and herbicides whose maximum residue limits are set at the default level of 0.01 mg/kg. The endeavor is to support industry in dealing with food safety issues related to these emerging food contaminants. Furthermore, Banerjee will showcase how use of advanced column chemistry, HILIC chromatography, and strategic sample preparation steps, including selective cleanups, can help resolve specific analytical problems for such polar compounds. Banerjee will also cover his recent research, which focuses on applications of high-resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS), using advanced features of quadrupole-TOF and orbitrap MS in combination with ultra-performance LC. Nontarget screening is highly relevant for screening of post-harvest food samples where the history of agrochemical applications is not available and there are possibilities of detection of pesticides originating from indirect sources. Accurate MS-based screening in combination with selected reaction monitoring- based quantifications can also simultaneously nullify matrix effects and ensure accurate identification and quantification of residues. HRMS workflows have been developed for residue analysis in complex spice matrices, which could resolve several issues of false detections. In addition to the highly sensitive, large-scale, multiple reaction monitoring-based workflows, he will touch upon advanced technologies, e.g., multidimensional and comprehensive two-dimensional chromatography, low-pressure GC-MS, among others. In conclusion, he will present his recent research focus on HRMS-based metabolomic profiling of fruits and vegetables to explore their bioactivity and characterization as nutraceutical products.

SCIENTIFIC SESSIONS

SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 24, 2017 1:00 PM – 2:30 PM TDLM Training Session: Traceability — An Important Requirement for ISO 17025 This workshop will include a discussion of traceability followed by an interactive exercise in which each participant identifies traceability components in an analytical procedure. Metrological traceability is a key element in the mutual recognition of calibration and testing results. ISO 17025 requires accredited laboratories to have a program in place to ensure that calibrations and measurements made by the laboratory are traceable to the International System of Units (SI) or to appropriate measurement standards where SI units cannot be realized. Many believe that using calibrated balances, volumetric glass ware, timers, thermometers, etc, is enough to fulfil traceability requirements. Contrary to this, it has to be appreciated that metrological traceability is just one of several determinants for producing valid and comparable measurement results; the others are proper method validation and a system of measures which ensures that analytical processes are under control. References to commonly accepted standards (measurement scales, such as the SI, reference materials, artefacts, reference methods) are of crucial importance for setting up traceability chains or for confirming metrological traceability. Such references must be chosen with care and can obviously not be restricted to physical input quantities (mass, volume, temperature, etc). Contemporary analytical chemistry relies to a large extent on measurement principles requiring some form of calibration to relate the signal generated by an instrument to a certain amount of substance; therefore, calibration materials that are well characterized with respect to their identity and purity very often form the starting point of a traceability chain.

3:00 PM – 4:30 PM TDRM Workshop: New ISO Series of Documents for Reference Material Producers For the first time ever, there is a coordinated, comprehensive series of documents from ISO containing requirements and guidance on production of reference materials. This includes all types of reference materials, not just Certified Reference Materials. These documents will form the basis of international efforts for increased availability of RMs, especially matrix RMs. Requirements and guidance cover all aspects of RM production, oversight, and use; public (i.e., NMI) and commercial production; traditional chemical calibrators and matrix materials with contaminants at levels of interest; and quantitative and qualitative property values, including RMs for identity, presence or absence, and purity. The workshop will offer brief perspectives from a national metrology institute and ISO REMCO member, an accredited RM producer, a multinational laboratory user, and an accreditation body.

Addressing Challenges in Routine Analysis of Chemical Residues and Contaminants in Complex Samples Harmonization — One Big “Happy” Method Certification Family? The International Stakeholder Panel on Analytical Methods (ISPAM) worked hard several years ago, to agree on a number of key method validation criteria to try and bring the microbiology requirements for method comparison between ISO and AOAC INTERNATIONAL together. Many of the technical agreements from the ISPAM meetings were included in the updated publications of method validation protocols: • ISO 16140-2:2016 — Microbiology of the Food Chain — Method Validation • Official Methods of Analysis of AOAC INTERNATIONAL Appendix J: AOAC INTERNATIONAL Methods Committee Guidelines for Validation of Microbiological Methods for Food and Environmental Surfaces (2012) Finally, in 2017, a harmonized study has been conducted, following these “harmonized” criteria spelled out in BOTH method validation protocols, as well specific criteria as required by each Certification body (AOAC and AFNOR).

In this Symposium (Workshop), attendees will be: 1. Walked through the processes followed to ensure agreement with both Certification bodies before initiating, and required throughout, the conduction of a harmonized study; 2. Informed of key pros and cons involved in conducting this type of harmonized study 3. Informed of how you, too, can work towards conducting your own harmonized study CO-CHAIR: DeAnn Benesh, 3M Food Safety CO-CHAIR: Deborah McKenzie, AOAC INTERNATIONAL • Deborah McKenzie, AOAC INTERNATIONAL AOAC Method Conformity Assessment • Valentine Digonnet, AFNOR Certification NF Validation via AFNOR CERTIFICATION • Lisa Monteroso, 3M Food Safety Reality: Does Method Harmonization Work? • Erin Crowley, Q Laboratories, Inc. Expert and Independent Lab Coordination • Imola Ferro, NEN MicroVal: the 2 Birds, 1 Stone Approach Cannabis: What is in the Plant and How to Overcome Challenges in Analysis Cannabis continues to garner much attention both in the public and in the science industry. This session will begin by providing a brief overview of the plant, discussing its unique botanical attributes, pharmacognosy, and growth cycle, that make it such an interesting subject matter. Now legal for compassionate or “medical” use in 28 states and the District of Columbia, and legal for recreational or “adult use” in 6 states, regulatory bodies are confronted with a myriad of challenges. Challenges at present include the lack of standard/ consensus test methods, lack of traditional ISO/IEC 17043 proficiency test schemes, rapidly changing requirements about pest-control mechanisms, and overall assurance of stated ingredients of potency of major phytocannabinoids in finished products provided to the end-user consumers. This session will provide a summary of these challenges and also discuss the significant gains made by AOAC’s first Cannabis Advisory Panel and Working Group toward the development of what will likely become the first consensus analytical test methods. We will also discuss gains toward providing a statistically sound sampling plan, and gains in effective extraction and analytical instrumentation.
