The quality of a laboratory’s most important product, information, can be assured through the proper use of statistical tools that support the quest for method accuracy and precision...

Falling number is a rapid test that measures the impact of amylase on starch. Results are used to place an economic value on wheat in the marketplace.

Effective near-infrared reflectance spectroscopy (NIRS) predictive calibrations were developed for simultaneous multiple component measurement of constituents (protein, oil, and β-glucan contents) in whole and ground oat groats.

Analytical scientists sometimes mire in the minutia of individual data points or complex data sets, yet lose sight of what the data actually means...

It’s 2018, and we have a year of exciting new changes for AACC International ahead of us!

Analytical instrumentation and methods continue to measure ever lower concentrations of contaminants in foods. As this trend progresses, effective monitoring of our food supply chain...

The modern electronic age has changed the way we study chemistry and how we perform statistical analysis. It is critical to determine how you will gather and prepare samples, what you will measure, and how you will present your results.

The development of food safety programs within the food industry has taken hold rapidly. Monitoring the production environment for bacteria and other pathogens constitutes a proactive approach to guaranteeing the production of a safe food product.

Statistical process control (SPC) and process capability (PC) deliver what other analytics approaches cannot: a defined path to quickly and cost effectively improve quality.

If your customers demand food safety programs that are FSMA compliant or will pass a GFSI audit scheme, you will need to develop and maintain such a program. Laboratory selection is part of this equation.

AACC International members each have their own story, and we want to highlight all of their amazing accomplishments. “Spotlights” is a series of individual and institutional member interviews.

Raymond J. Tarleton was the right person, at the right time, with the right skills to guide AACC International (AACCI) and The American Phytopathological Society (APS) through a period of amazing advancements.

Thank you to all our corporate members, who contribute their knowledge, expertise, and professional involvement to ensure the continued strength of the association and to promote excellence in cereal grain science worldwide.
