Room B11 (Hall B1)
This afternoon session on Analysing Bioactive Compounds in Complex Food Matrices, chaired by Professor Rychlic from the Center Of Food and Life Sciences, Technical University of Munich, Munich, Germany starts with a talk on Veterinary Drugs in the Environment – New Challenges for Food Safety by Gerd Hamscher from Institute of Food Chemistry and Food Biotechnology at the Justus-Liebig University, Germany followed by a presentation on The Development of Candidate Reference Method for the Simultaneous Quantitation of Boar Taint Compounds in Back Fat by Mathiass Wust from the Institute of Nutrition and Food Science and Bioanlaytics at the University of Bonn, Bonn, Germany.
A discussion on the Modern Analysis of Odorants: A Multifaceted Research Area with High Potential for Application by Andrea Buttner from the Emil Fischer Center, Department of Chemistry and Pharmacy, University of Erlangen-Huremberg, Erlangen, Germany closes the first half of the afternoon session. After a short break Karl-Werner Schramm from the German Research Center for Environmetal Health (GmbH), Institute of Ecological Chemistry, Neuherberg, Germany will present a talk called Complementary Chemical and Biological Analysis of Dioxin-Like Compounds and the session closes with talk on the Formation of Food-borne Toxicants During Heat-Processing by Michael Granvogl from the Technical University of Munich, Freising, Germany.
Analytical Challenges in Measuring Migration from Food Contact Materials
November 2nd 2015Food contact materials contain low molecular weight additives and processing aids which can migrate into foods leading to trace levels of contamination. Food safety is ensured through regulations, comprising compositional controls and migration limits, which present a significant analytical challenge to the food industry to ensure compliance and demonstrate due diligence. Of the various analytical approaches, LC-MS/MS has proved to be an essential tool in monitoring migration of target compounds into foods, and more sophisticated approaches such as LC-high resolution MS (Orbitrap) are being increasingly used for untargeted analysis to monitor non-intentionally added substances. This podcast will provide an overview to this area, illustrated with various applications showing current approaches being employed.
FDA Talks to LCGC About Chromatographic Techniques for PFAS Detection in Food Supply
December 5th 2023A new study details the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA)’s recent expansion to 30 analytes, from a previous 16, in the method for determining per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in the US food supply, which, in turn, may mean that additional analytes may still yet be identified (1).
