  3. AOCS Mission • a forum for the exchange of ideas, information and experience • professional interest in the science and technology of fats oils and related substances • promote excellence and provide high standards of quality

  4. AOCS Structure Membership Meetings and Exhibits AOCS Press Technical Services

  5. AOCS Technical Services Expertise • World authority in the development and implementation of methods of analysis for fats, oils and oilseeds • Publisher of Official Methods and Recommended Practices of the AOCS • Laboratory Proficiency Program (LPP)

  6. AOCS Technical Services Expertise (continued) • Approved Chemist Program • NOPA/AOCS Certified Laboratory Program • USB AOCS Soybean Quality Traits Analytical Standards Program • Custom certification programs • International collaborative studies

  7. Official Methods and Recommended Practices of the AOCS • 5 th Edition, 2nd printing released in May 2004 • 400 methods for the global oils and fats industry • Peer reviewed and internationally tested methods • Regular revision by associate editors • Additions and Revisions coordinated through eight Technical Working Committees (A&Rs from 1999-2004 have been consolidated into the 2nd printing)

  8. Official Methods (1) • New methods are collaboratively tested internationally to conform to ISO 5725 or AOAC/IUPAC Harmonized Protocol • Minimum results from: • 8 laboratories • 5 countries • 5 levels of analyte

  9. Official Methods (2) • Validated by decades of service • Existing methods which conform to previous statistical norms • Adopted by the AOCS through harmonization with International Organizations

  10. Adoption Process (1) Adoption by Majority Vote Uniform Methods Committee International Study Collaborative Studies Industry Needs Technical Working Committee JAOCS Article

  11. Adoption Process (2) • Request for method • Appointment of subcommittee/project leader • Consideration of results of mini-collaborative • Proceed with full collaborative study • Consideration of results (publication) • Vote by UMC • Publication as Official Method/Recommended Practice/Recommended Procedure
