Special ProjectMethod Development and Method Validation

LFFM项目摘要--方法开发、单一实验室验证 加工食品监管程序标准(MFRPS)建立了统一的 负责设施管理的州项目管理基金会 包括化学和微生物污染物的实验室分析。通过这件事 佐治亚州农业部(GDA)实验室实现、增强和 保持国际标准化组织/国际电工委员会17025认证。作为推动该计划的一部分，ISO测试 方法必须得到扩展和增强。GDA实验室建议开发一种方法 用于人类食用的食用坚果的农药分析。目前，有以下几种 没有AOAC或其他标准方法用于树木坚果中的农药分析。树坚果会 介绍一种具有挑战性的食品产品，由于其坚硬的成分与 各种油、碳水化合物和矿物质的存在。带着数百万磅的坚果 每年在食品中消费坚果是一种无处不在的食品，对 美国的粮食生产和粮食消费。这项研究最初将讨论山核桃，然后 转向其他重要的商品，如杏仁和开心果。通过建立一种方法， 以及对此分析的验证研究，可以信心十足地检查样品，以更好地 加强全球食品安全倡议，通过帮助一个综合的国家 食品安全体系。

LFFM Project Summary - Method Development, Single Laboratory Validation The Manufactured Food Regulatory Program Standards (MFRPS) established a uniform foundation for the management of state programs responsible for the regulation of facilities including laboratory analysis for chemical and microbiological contaminants. Through this program the Georgia Department of Agriculture’s (GDA) laboratories achieved, enhanced, and maintained ISO/IEC 17025 accreditation. As part of moving this program forward the ISO testing methods must be expanded and enhanced. The GDA laboratory proposes to develop a method for the pesticide analysis of edible tree nuts for human food consumption. Currently, there are no AOAC or other standard methods for the pesticide analysis of tree nuts. Tree nuts would present a challenging food product to analyze due to the hard composition in conjunction with the presence of various oils, carbohydrates, and minerals. With millions of pounds of tree nuts consumed in food products each year tree nuts represent a ubiquitous food product important to U.S. food production and food consumption. This study would initially address pecans and then move to other important commodities like almonds and pistachios. By establishing a method, and a validation study for this analysis, samples can be examined with confidence to better to enhance Global Food Safety initiatives and protect the public by aiding in an integrated national food safety system.
