Thermoluminescence Detection of Irradiated Shellfish: International Interlaboratory TrialJournal of AOAC International - Tập 86 Số 5 - Trang 976-982 - 2003
D.C.W. Sanderson, L. Carmichael, Saffron Fisk, P Christensen, Henry Delincée, Hans Nootenboom, Jürgen Pfordt, S. Pinnioja, G Schreiber, Ute Wagner
Abstract
An international interlaboratory trial was conducted using thermoluminescence for the detection of irradiated shellfish, aimed at validating the method for routine use. Nephrops norvegicus, mussels, brown shrimps, black tiger prawns, and king scallops were presented as nonirradiated and irradiated to 0.5 and 2.5 kGy. The protocol called for ...... hiện toàn bộ
European Regulations for Labeling Requirements for Food Allergens and Substances Causing Intolerances: History and FutureJournal of AOAC International - Tập 101 Số 1 - Trang 60-69 - 2018

Abstract
Food allergies are increasing globally, including numbers of allergens, the sensitization rate, and the prevalence rate. To protect food-allergic individuals in the community, food allergies need to be appropriately managed. This paper describes current Australian food allergen management practices. In Australia, the prevalence of food aller...... hiện toàn bộ
Methodology for Determining Degree of Hydrolysis of Proteins in Hydrolysates: A ReviewJournal of AOAC International - Tập 93 Số 5 - Trang 1515-1522 - 2010
Shane M. Rutherfurd
Abstract
Degree of hydrolysis (DH) is defined as the proportion of cleaved peptide bonds in a protein hydrolysate. Several methods exist for determining DH; the most commonly used of these include the pH-stat, trinitrobenzenesulfonic acid (TNBS), o-phthaldialdehyde (OPA), trichloroacetic acid soluble nitrogen (SN-TCA), and formol titration methods.

Analysis of Ginkgo biloba for the Presence of Ginkgotoxin and Ginkgotoxin 5′-GlucosideJournal of AOAC International - Tập 83 Số 6 - Trang 1313-1320 - 2000
Peter Scott, Benjamin P.‐Y. Lau, G. A. Lawrence, David Lewis
Abstract
Hot water extracts of Ginkgo biloba seeds were analyzed for the presence of ginkgotoxin (4′-O-methylpyridoxine) by reversed-phase liquid chromatography (LC) using methanol–0.05M KH2PO4 (1 + 9, v/v) adjusted to pH 3 as mobile phase. Detection was by fluorescence (excitation 280 nm, emission 370 nm). A straight line calibration curve was obtai...... hiện toàn bộ
Simple and Rapid Determination of Phytase ActivityJournal of AOAC International - Tập 77 Số 3 - Trang 760-764 - 1994
Adrianus J Engelen, Fred C Van Der Heeft, Peter H G Randsdorp, Ed L C Smtt
Abstract
A simple and rapid method is described for determining the enzymatic activity of microbial phytase. The method is based on the determination of inorganic orthophosphate released on hydrolysis of sodium phytate at pH 5.5.
Enzymatic Determination of Free Carnitine in Milk and Infant FormulasJournal of AOAC International - Tập 78 Số 1 - Trang 69-74 - 1995
Harvey E. Indyk, David C Woollard
Abstract
A simple spectrophotometric assay for free carnitine in milk and supplemented infant formulas has been developed. After acid extraction, carnitine is measured enzymatically through its reaction with carnitine acetyltransferase coupled with acetyl coenzyme A and dithiobenzoate (DTNB). The manually performed method is rapid, accurate, and conv...... hiện toàn bộ
