Contents. History AOAC International, informally the AOAC, was founded September 8, 1884, as the Association of Official Agricultural Chemists, by the (USDA), to establish uniform chemical analysis methods for analyzing.
In 1927, sponsorship was moved to the newly formed which become the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in 1930. From its initial scope of analyzing fertilizer, the organization expanded the contents of its methods book to cover dairy products, pesticides, microbiological contamination and animal feeds, among others. In 1965, due to its increasing area of focus for analytical work, the name was changed to the Association of Official Analytical Chemists.
The name was changed again to the Association of Analytical Communities to reflect the growing international involvement, and then in 1991 it became AOAC International, with AOAC no longer having any legal meaning. Control of the organization remained with the FDA until 1979 when it became completely independent, although it still has close links to both the FDA and the USDA. Full membership was limited to government analytical chemists until 1987 when membership was extended to industrial scientists. As well as government agencies, members, volunteers and partners now also include people from academia, other international organizations, private laboratories, contract research organizations, instrument manufacturers and rapid assay developers. The AOAC's publications center upon comprehensive analysis methods, including AOAC Methods of Analysis (1885, 49pp.), Official and Provisional Methods of Analysis of the AOAC (1912), and the monthly, currently its principal periodical, subscribed to by university and industry technical libraries and by members of the AOAC. Activities AOAC International's technical contributions center on the creation, and global publication of reliable analytical test methods.
Their areas of focus include, but are not limited to, of foods, beverages, fertilizers, animal feeds, soil and water, and veterinary drugs. The aim of the test methods is to evaluate the purity of materials used in the production of foodstuffs, and their ingredients. Test methods are of two broad categories: chemical tests (e.g., for or ) and microbiological tests (e.g., for or ). Before a given method can be approved as an AOAC official method, it is peer reviewed and tested in a 8–10laboratories in what is called a 'Collaborative Study'.
Smile teachers guide. The findings are often published on the Journal of AOAC International. If the OMB (Official Methods Board) approves the recommendation of the Study Director and Committee Chair and approves the method for official status (an official method of analysis) then it is given 'First Action' approval. During this time, members can comment on the method and provide feedback about issues or other comments regarding the method. After a year, the OMB can grant 'Final Action' status to a method where there has been no feedback serious enough to warrant further investigation.
AOAC International publish first and final action Official Methods in the Journal of AOAC International and Official Methods of Analysis. Methods are recognized as official methods by the FDA and other agencies. Members gain free access to the OMA via the web. One of their most visible activities is to be official source for nutrition labeling analysis.
AOAC International has eight North American sections, organized geographically, as well as nine geographic sections in the rest of the world. AOAC International conducts a general meeting every fall in August or September which is moved around the United States and held in major cities. They hold a mid-year meeting every March near the headquarters in Rockville, Maryland.
Publications AOAC has published the peer-reviewed bimonthly since 1915. They also publish the Official Methods of Analysis of AOAC International (OMA) in hard copy and through the on-line database. The magazine Inside Laboratory Management is published bimonthly for members. References. ^ Vasconcellos, J.

elcome to the Official Methods of Analysis of AOAC INTERNATIONAL (OMA) Online AOAC INTERNATIONAL, founded in 1884, is an independent, third-party, nongovernment association of international industry organizations, government agencies, research institutions, and individual scientists. AOAC is a leader in delivering international voluntary consensus standards, Official Methods of Analysis (OMA), Performance Tested Method SM (PTM) certification, laboratory proficiency testing programs, laboratory accreditation criteria, and scientific information and opportunities. AOAC methods are used globally to promote trade and to facilitate public health and public safety.
The OMA Online provides fast and easy access to AOAC's Official Methods SM. Search Methods by Keyword. Combines elements of the preceding searches (Text, Category, and Full Text). Information The Official Methods of Analysis was first released in electronic format, as a companion to the print Official Methods of Analysis of AOAC INTERNATIONAL, 18th Edition, in 2005. For new and revised methods approved since 2005, see adoption/revision date for each method. These dates are located in either the header block at the top of the method for major modifications, or in a revision line at the bottom of the method for minor editorial revisions. A footer (i.e., 2012) may also be helpful in identifying new or revised methods, and is found at the bottom of each entry.
The electronic Official Methods of Analysis is updated regularly, as new methods/revisions are approved, and it reflects the most current method information available.
