This Wednesday morning session will be chaired by Kevin Schug of the University of Texas at Arlington and will be held in the Golden Gate Ballroom B on floor B2 level. The session will begin at 8:30 am. Schug was the recipient of LCGC’s 2009 Emerging Leader in Chromatography Award.
The session will open with a keynote lecture presented by Paola Dugo of the University of Messina in Messina, Italy. Dugo’s presentation is titled “Different Approaches Using Liquid Chromatography and Mass Spectrometry for Analysis of Complex Lipid Samples.”
The session’s next presentation, also a keynote lecture, is titled “Fast and Efficient Reversed-Phase UHPLC and SFC Method Development for Agrochemicals and Metabolites in Complex Sample Matrices” and will be presented by Mingming Ma of Dow AgroSciences.
Lidia Montero of the Laboratory of Foodomics, Institute of Food Science Research (CIAL-CSIC) in Madrid, Spain, will present the next talk titled “Metabolic Classification of Licorice as Function of Geographical Origin by Comprehensive Two-Dimensional Liquid Chromatography Coupled to Mass Spectrometry (LC x LCâMS-MS).” This presentation is a finalist for consideration of the 2016 Csaba Horváth Young Scientist Award.
The final talk in this Wednesday session will be given by Ana Gago-Martinez of the University of Vigo and EU Reference, Laboratory for Marine Biotoxins in Vigo, Spain. Her talk is titled “The Key Role of Liquid Chromatography in the Control of Marine Biotoxins in Seafood.”
The session will be followed by poster presentations P-W-0800 through P-W-1100 in the Yerba Buena Ballroom Exhibition Hall, floor lower B2 level.
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).
