Monday afternoon’s “Food and Environment” session will take place in Grand Ballroom F-K, starting at 4:30 p.m. The Session Chairs will be Andy Dang of San Jose University (San Jose, California), and Frantisek Svec of Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley, California).
Marja-Liisa Riekkola of the University of Helsinki (Helsinki, Finland) will give the first presentation, “Ionic Liquid Modified Materials in Solid Phase Extraction and Liquid Chromatographic Separations and their Application to Atmospheric Aerosol Analysis.”
Following Riekkola’s presentation, Ross Shalliker of the University of Western Sydney (North Parramatta, Australia) will present “High Efficiency HPLC-MS Using Parallel Segmented Flow Chromatography Columns,” which starts at 4:55 p.m.
The next presentation will be from Jeffrey Patrick of LECO Corporation (St. Joseph, Michigan). “Ultra-Trace Mycotoxins in Foodstuffs Using UPPLC with High Performance Time of Flight Mass Spectrometry” gets under way at 5:15 p.m.
The session’s final presentation “Automation of Sample Preparation for HPLC Applications with Thin Film Open Bed SPME Technique,” by Janusz Pawliszyn of the University of Waterloo (Waterloo, Canada), starts at 5:35 p.m.
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.
Advanced LC–MS Analysis for PFAS Analysis in Eggs
October 11th 2024The European Commission's regulation on maximum levels for certain contaminants in food highlights the need for precise and reliable methods to quantify per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in various food matrices. This article discusses development and validation of a robust method for analyzing 21 PFAS compounds in chicken eggs using solid-phase extraction (SPE) and liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry (LC–MS).
