The Journal of AOAC INTERNATIONAL publishes a wide array of papers under the category of Food Chemical Contaminants, which contribute to the overarching goal of ensuring food safety and protecting public health. This section offers insight into the latest methods and technologies in analytical chemistry, with a particular focus on food safety and quality control.

These papers primarily address the detection, quantification, and mitigation of harmful chemicals in food products. The research encompasses:

  • Development and validation of methods to detect contaminants such as pesticides, heavy metals, mycotoxins, and other harmful substances in food matrices.
  • Accurate measurement of contaminant levels in food products using advanced analytical techniques like LC-MS/MS, GC-MS, and ICP-MS.
  • Exploration of methods to remove or reduce contaminants, ensuring that food products meet safety standards.
  • Evaluation of the potential health risks associated with exposure to various chemical contaminants in food.
  • Compliance with national and international safety standards and regulations.
  • Innovation in analytical methods for more sensitive, accurate, and efficient detection of contaminants.

This comprehensive approach ensures the integrity of the food supply chain and the safety of consumers.
