Targeted molecular method

Clear AOAC guidelines X Information about method requirements is itemized into nine categories: (1) intended use; (2) applicability; (3) analytical technique; (4) definitions; (5) method performance requirements; (6) system suitability; (7) reference materials; (8) validation guidance; and (9) maximum time-to-determination. X An SMPR for qualitative may include up to three additional annexes: (1) inclusivity/selectivity panel; (2) exclusivity/cross-reactivity panel; and (3) environmental material panels.

Strong and relevant base X SMPR on targeted methods for Honey, EVOO, Milk Adulteration Molecular methods in food authenticity are mainly qualitative; however quantitation is possible X
