product reconstitution in g (if necessary), S is the sample size in g, and P is the weight of product that is reconstituted in g (if necessary).

areas of the same standards injected before and after a set of samples have changed by more than 7%, the system was not equilibrated and the data are not acceptable. (c)  Calculation of trans vitamin K 1 standard concentration: T A A A ( ) 2 1 2 = + where T is the trans vitamin K 1 fraction, A 1 is the cis vitamin K 1 peak area, andA 2 is trans vitaminK 1 peak area. The  trans vitamin K 1 fraction is calculated for all standards, and the calculated trans vitamin K 1 fraction for all standards is averaged together (T a ) and used to calculate the trans vitamin K 1 concentration of all standards. (d)  Trans vitamin K 1 standard concentration: C C T ST S a = × where C ST is the concentration of trans vitamin K 1 in the working standard C S in µg/L and C s is the working standard concentration in µg/L. (e)  Preparation of standard curves .—For each working standard concentration, average the peak areas from each two consecutive sets of standards. Prepare a standard curve by performing a linear least-squares regression on trans concentration versus averaged peak areas. A standard curve must have an r 2 of 0.999 or better to be acceptable. (f)  Calculation of trans vitamin K 1 in a sample: = × × × 10.0 C C R S P p c where C p is the concentration of trans vitamin K 1 in µg/kg, C c is the concentration of trans vitamin K 1 in the injected sample determined from the standard curve in µg/L, 10.0 is the dilution volume of the sample in mL, R is the final dilution weight of a

Conclusions

AOAC 2015.09 met all of the SPIFAN SMPR and was approved for First Action status by an AOAC expert review panel at the AOAC Mid-Year Meeting in March 2015.
