He has more than 100 publications in local and regional journals and conferences, and more than 40 international research papers in Food Microbiology, Rapid Methods in Microbiology, and Food Safety Management and Controls.

Abstract

Thailand has been active in food safety control legislation due to the highly diverse food culture that leads to various food safety issues and requires solutions with country specific approaches to provide the best safety/quality foods to the world market. This presentation gathers information on current regional/local authority requirements on food safety implementation/certification from farm to table. Several local requirement as well as revised international standards such as ISO9001:2015; ISO22000:2018, Good Hygiene Practice (GHP), the US Food Safety Modernization Acts (FSMA): Preventive Control of Human Food (PCHF), have affected these changes. These schemes required rapid and accurate testing to work with. New methods are introduced including molecular typing, non-cultured, non-contact and non-destructive methods to meet industry demands. Firms, as well as research agencies in private, governmental, and academic organizations have developed own test kits to replace current cumbersome conventional methods for their specific used in order to control food production chain for safety. Locally developed methods required local validation for primary approval. Some methods for quality control purpose still needs proper validation as required by ISO17025. AOAC Sections should be instrumental in these activities that include method validation development training and establishing joint organization with AOAC International to support in this activity in the future.

Towards harmonised methods for determining MOSH/MOAH in challenging food matrices

Dr. Stefanka Bratinova

Analytical Chemist

Joint Research Centre (JRC), European Commission

Biography

Analytical Chemist with background in environmental and food chemistry

Scientific Project Officer at the European Union Reference Laboratory (EURL), Joint Research Center (JRC) -Geel.

From 2004 to 2010 I worked on temporary contracts at the EURL-Food Contact Materials (FCM) in Ispra, Italy. From 2012 I joined the Unit of Food safety at JRC-Geel, Belgium, with focus on analyses of contaminants (PAH and Mycotoxins) for the EURLs functioning in the JRC at that time. After JRC seized to operate these two EURLs on decision from the JRC Management, I returned back to EURL-FCM activities.

My expertise is in the field of method validation via collaborative trials, proficiency testing and operation of an EURL via networking with the NRLs and OCLs in the respective fields.

During the past 5 years my activities withing the team were focused on managing the project on the analyses of mineral oils from food and FCMs. The role of EURL team was to coordinate the knowledge available in that field and to propose general performance criteria for the methods to be used for the monitoring and the way of reporting results to European Food Safety Authority (EFSA).

Abstract

The analysis of MOH in food, especially in food with a high fat content, is very demanding in terms of analytical methodology and interpretation of chromatograms. In November 2019, a dispute emerged related to published data on MOAH in infant formula and follow-on formula (IF). The comparability and thus reliability of the results from different analytical procedures applied by laboratories to monitor the MOAH content in IF was in question.

The European Union Reference Laboratory for Food Contact Materials (EURL FCM) identified the need for a fully harmonised analytical method to be characterised with respect to its performance and further standardisation. This was also recognised by all stakeholders (European Commission, official control laboratories, non-governmental organisations and commercial laboratories).

The presentation will summarise the current achievements from this project including:

  • – A roundtable discussion with all stakeholders;
  • – An exploratory review and trial of the variety of experimental procedures applied;
  • – Cooperation with stakeholders for the preparation of suitable test materials for collaborative trials;
  • – Organisation of a pre-trial for the evaluation of the draft Standard Opertating Procudure (SOP) and familiarisation of the labs with it;
  • – Identification of the need and conducting two additional ring trials on characterisation of a MOSH/MOAH in a mineral oil and on integration;
  • – Overview of the draft results from the recent full collaborative trial for establishing the performance characteristics of a SOP for determination of the MOAH in IF.

He has worked in senior regional roles with Cargill, Nestle & AssureQuality  over the last 15 years mostly based in Singapore.

Presentation Overview

3-MCPD & GE are important contaminants which are carcinogenic. Even though they are mentioned together they do not equal each other.

They have different precursors and formation temperatures. The mitigation techniques and critical processing steps differ so they need to be considered independently.

It is important to understand to select the right combination of mitigation strategies as this is dependent on the required 3-MCPD/GE level as well as other targeted contaminants and quality, some may act in antagonistic manner.
