Shirley O. Corriher, who is well known for her books explaining the science of cooking and baking, will be sharing some of her secrets in tomorrow’s plenary lecture. Her first book, Cookwise: The Hows and Whys of Successful Cooking, is a bestseller and won a James Beard Award for excellence. She has also authored a regular syndicated column in The Los Angeles Times Syndicate's Great Chefs series as well as technical articles in the Journal of Biological Chemistry.
Corriher has a B.A. in chemistry from Vanderbilt University, where she was also a biochemist at the medical school. She has problem-solved for a range of clients in the world of food and cooking, including Julia Child, Procter & Gamble, and Pillsbury. She has taught and lectured throughout the world. Corriher also has received many awards, including the Best Cooking Teacher of the Year in Bon Appetit's "Best of the Best" Annual Food and Entertaining Awards in 2001.
Hear Corriher’s talk on Thursday at 4:45 pm in Exhibit Hall A.
Dispersive Solid Phase Microextraction for Detecting PAHs in Juice and Water
August 29th 2024Dokuz Eylul University scientists tested dispersive micro solid-phase extraction (D-µSPE)’s effectiveness for detecting polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in fruit juice and environmental water samples.
Analytical Challenges in Measuring Migration from Food Contact Materials
November 2nd 2015Food contact materials contain low molecular weight additives and processing aids which can migrate into foods leading to trace levels of contamination. Food safety is ensured through regulations, comprising compositional controls and migration limits, which present a significant analytical challenge to the food industry to ensure compliance and demonstrate due diligence. Of the various analytical approaches, LC-MS/MS has proved to be an essential tool in monitoring migration of target compounds into foods, and more sophisticated approaches such as LC-high resolution MS (Orbitrap) are being increasingly used for untargeted analysis to monitor non-intentionally added substances. This podcast will provide an overview to this area, illustrated with various applications showing current approaches being employed.
GC–MS to Determine Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons in Acai Foods
August 2nd 2024University of Campinas and Iowa State University scientists recently combined vacuum-assisted sorbent extraction (VASE) and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC–MS) to determine polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in açaí-based food products.
