Webinars

This webinar aims toward detailing the issue of high acid products, assisting with the categorization of these products, and providing strategies for managing products that fall under the acidified food category but do not receive a full thermal process. Original airdate August 10, 2022.

Learn about frequent causes of off-flavor, off-odor, and flavor scalping in packaged foods, beverages, and pet food products, including analytical techniques ranging from GCMS to ICP to LCMSMS for troubleshooting and detection, with a focus on SPME-GC-MS analysis. Learn how improper product packaging, production, or transportation issues can cause your product to be recalled. Factors that can negatively impact flavor and aroma. The analytical techniques range from GCMS to ICP to LCMSMS for troubleshooting and detection.

The botanical supplement and cosmetic industries are rapidly changing, and the increase in consumer demand calls for upscaling raw material sourcing. This means there is higher pressure for scientifically-valid contaminant testing, including screens for pesticides and heavy metals, while maintaining a fast turn-around time. Watch this webinar to learn modern approaches to contaminant detection, with an emphasis on market trends, broad dietary supplement applications, and OTC cosmetics.

Watch this webinar to learn more about Human Milk Oligosaccharides and Proteins, what they are, and how they can be analyzed. The webinar will provide some background on HMOs and cover an analytical method that is capable of quantifying up to six different HMOs within infant formula and adult nutritionals and will focus on the most prevalent human milk proteins targeted for infant formula, and how modern proteomics tools are used to address the challenges of targeted protein analysis in protein rich matrices such as infant formula.

Watch this webinar to gain an understanding of the difference between the USDA and FDA labeling regulations.  Also, learn which products fall into which regulation.

Analytical method development and validation is a complex topic; in this webinar, Josh Rhein and Leo Schilling attempt to break it down for you and discuss some best practices.

This webinar focuses on best practices for testing dietary supplements with a focus on using scientifically valid test methods. Original air date: April 25, 2022

Doug Marshall, Ph.D., Chief Scientific Officer, reviews recent FDA and USDA regulatory updates that affect food processors. The updates include new rules and regulations, upcoming deadlines, regulator surveillance activities, recalls, and outbreaks. Hear about PFAS, pesticides, mercury, histamine, sodium reduction, ag water, allergens, traceability, Appendix A & B, and other important activities.

Historically, the fresh produce industry has viewed food quality and food safety as different disciplines and utilizing separate science. That is changing. The lines between food safety and quality are becoming blurred. For processors, retailers, growers and suppliers, the need to understand the intersection of food quality and safety has never been more critical. The strategic partnership between the Qfresh Lab and Eurofins was created specifically to address this need within the industry. This webinar explores how to navigate  through the combination of foods safety and quality.

This webinar discusses current analytical trends, focusing on low level cannabinoids testing and meeting stringent limits for pesticide residue testing. We briefly review navigating API and OTC testing to meet GMP requirements. Finally, we share updates related to hemp and feed, as well as the certification process of the USHA.
