AOAC 2017 Annual Meeting Preliminary Program

3:00 PM – 4:30 PM Guarding against Food Fraud: EU and US Infrastructure and Systems, and How Non-Targeted Methods Can Help Bolster Both The cost of food fraud to the international food industry is not just measured by the several billion dollars estimated to cost every year, but also in the negative impact on public confidence in food producers and regulators, and the risk of serious public health consequences. Two different aspects of the international fight against food fraud are presented: At the infrastructure and regulatory level, we discuss the EU and US frameworks, systems and selected food fraud initiatives; at the analytical level, we discuss one of the newer tools to combat food fraud — Non-targeted adulteration detection methods. Dr. Ulberth will present an overview of the EU framework and infrastructure, and Dr. Xie will give the US perspective. We will give an insight to some of the tools used to counter food fraud: some already in place, and others still under development. One focal point will be the standardization and application of non-targeted methods to detect and deter adulteration in food ingredients. These methods have gained interest due to their potential to detect new and unexpected adulterants that may enter supply chains. A multinational collaborative team led by a US Pharmacopeia expert panel has developed guidance for the development and validation of non-targeted methods. This guidance will be introduced to the AOAC community, and the need for a standardized approach such as this will be supported by two international food processors, food producers including Fonterra, presenting an industry perspective and discussing their own non- targeted solutions and the challenges they have faced. CO-CHAIR: Kenny Xie, United States Pharmacopeia CO-CHAIR: Franz Ulberth, European Commission – Joint Research Centre • Franz Ulberth, European Commission – Joint Research Centre European Perspective: Overview of Systems and Infrastructure in EU • Kenny Xie, U.S. Pharmacopeia (USP) US Perspective: Overview of Information and Analytical Systems in Protein Nutrition and Quality Assessment: Global Perspective Protein is one of the major macronutrients in our diet, and is essential for human health and growth. Protein demand has grown rapidly in last decade and trend expected to continue worldwide in future not only because of expected increase in population but also due to a wider recognition of a need of higher quality protein from a variety of sources in a healthy diet. The commercial availability of high protein products including beverages based on balanced high quality protein sources is increasing lately to meet the consumer demands. Environmental & sustainability perspectives are pleading to bring down animal/plant protein ratio further in our diet to save our planet. It is important to correctly evaluate the quality of our current and future protein sources to provide good quality protein in our diets. Test methods like PDCAAS, DIAAS and others are available to map the protein quality. In this US, and Introduction to Non-Targeted Methods • Steve Holroyd, Fonterra Cooperative Group Ltd.

session, the speakers will discuss various aspects of methods for assessing protein quality of foods including protein and amino acid digestibility, amino acid requirement patterns and their applications in nutrition labeling. CO-CHAIR: Clyde Don, CDC FoodPhysica CO-CHAIR: Sneh Bhandari, Mérieux NutriSciences Corporation • Clyde Don, CDC FoodPhysica Protein Nutrition and Sources: A Global Perspective • David Plank, Medallion Laboratories/General Mills Factors Impacting Protein Quality and a New Way for Measuring • Sneh Bhandari, Mérieux NutriSciences — Silliker Protein Quality Evaluation in Protein Enhanced Formulations and Nutrition Labeling • Paul Moughan, Riddet Institute Advances in Protein Quality Research for Sustainable Implementation of a Superior Protein Rating System Hot Topics in Metal Analysis This session will focus on atomic spectroscopic methods in the food industry. There will be 4 speakers, each speaking on a different topical issue in elemental analysis in the food industry. The four speakers cover a wide range of backgrounds and are from different organizations. There will be representatives from government, industry, and academia presenting. Highlighted topics to be covered are toxic metals in food and beverages, and speciation analysis, all in diverse food matrices.
