Paper accepted for publication entitled "Liquid chromatographic method for the determination of lutein in milk and pediatric formulas" to be published in the International Dairy Journal. This paper describes the development and validation of a rapid method for routine compliance testing of lutein in pediatric formulas.
I attended the 121st AOAC Annual Meeting in Anaheim. This was my first AOAC meeting and I reveled in the excitement and enthusiasm of the AOAC members for their association.
Walked down the road to Disneyland but did not go in.
Paper accepted for publication entitled "Determination of nucleotides and nucleosides in milks and pediatric formulas: a review" to be published in the Journal of AOAC International. This review summarizes the analytical techniques used to date in the analysis of nucleospecies in bovine and human milks and infant formulas.
Paper accepted for publication entitled "Development and application of a liquid chromatographic method for analysis of nucleotides and nucleosides in milk and infant formulas" to be published in the International Dairy Journal. This paper describes the development and validation of a method for the simultaneous determination in milk of the 5′‑mononucleotides and their corresponding nucleosides. This technique was applied to the analysis of bovine and human milk, a range of commercial bovine milk-based infant and follow-on formulas, a seasonal study of skim milk powders and an assessment of alkaline phosphatase influence on nucleotide retention.
Paper accepted for publication entitled "Use of natural abundance 15N DEPT NMR to investigate curing of urea-formaldehyde resin in the presence of wood fibers" to be published in Magnetic Resonance in Chemistry. This paper describes the use of natural abundance 15N NMR using a DEPT pulse sequence to follow the curing of urea-formaldehyde resin in the presence of wood fiber, fiber extracts and acid or base.
