Attended the 6th International Vitamin Conference virtually. Gave a recorded presentation on the analysis of α‑tocopherol stereoisomers by chiral chromatography.
Attended the 135th AOAC Conference virtually. As chair of the Phospholipids Working Group, gave a presentation to the SPIFAN Stakeholder Panel on the draft SMPR.
Paper accepted for publication entitled "Aflatoxin M1 binding to bovine α- and κ- caseins demonstrated by surface plasmon resonance" to be published in the International Dairy Journal. This paper describes a qualitative analysis confirming for the first time that aflatoxin M1 binds specifically with α‑casein and κ‑casein, but that any interaction with β‑casein or the whey proteins is negligible.
Paper accepted for publication entitled "Dairy product quality using screening of aroma compounds by selected ion flow tube‒mass spectrometry: A chemometric approach" to be published in the International Dairy Journal. This paper describes the use of chemometrics to aroma compounds detected in dairy samples by selected ion flow tube‒mass spectrometry.
Paper accepted for publication entitled "The determination of intact β‑casein in milk products by biosensor immunoassay" to be published in the Journal of Food Composition and Analysis. This paper discusses the development and validation of an automated immunoassay method for β‑casein by surface plasmon resonance.
Paper accepted for publication entitled "Analysis of α‑tocopherol stereoisomers in fortified infant formula by chiral chromatography" to be published in the Journal of AOAC International. This paper describes the development of a chiral LC‑UV for the determination of α‑tocopherol stereoisomers in fortified infant formula.
