AACC International Approved Methods of Analysis--Highlights of the 2009 Meetings of the Codex Committee for Methods of Analysis and Sampling

Abstract

the AACC International Approved Methods of Analysis is in the final stages of preparation for release. Our 22 technical committees have been working for nearly two years to achieve this challenging goal. A few are doing the last minute polishing of the new methods, while others are adding enhancements to our tried and true methods. More information about the new edition will be coming soon. The Approved Methods technical committees have been “thinking outside the book” and we are very excited that the new eleventh edition will be delivered online and updated monthly as new methods and enhancements are added by our committees. (Note: Individual methods can each be printed in pdf form.) The new online-only edition will allow our committees to provide helpful “background information” and continually enhance all of the methods. They are adding calculators, photos, and videos, among other enhancements, and I’m positive the new edition will be our best ever. As we’ve worked through this process, we have often commented that there are some AACC Intl. members who may be able to help us do much more of this work as we go forward. Please do not hesitate to let us know if you can help in this process, especially if you have teaching materials on a particular AACC International Approved Methods of Analysis—Highlights of the 2009 Meetings of the Codex Committee for Methods of Analysis and Sampling
