AOAC Volunteer Form: Botanical Identity Verification Working Group

AOAC is seeking volunteer subject matter experts to serve on a multifaceted working group focused on botanical identity testing. The first objective will be to review and update Part II and III of OMA Appendix K. Additional revisions may include expanded technical guidance or other best practices to address challenges in choosing or developing appropriate, fit for purpose, scientifically valid methods of evaluation for establishing methods for identity of botanical materials.


Background

Botanical identification is not strictly defined quantitatively, so well-established statistical procedures for ensuring methods are appropriate and scientifically valid do not easily apply. Appendix K, Parts II and III, while statistically sound, have presented practical challenges that have prevented wide-spread adoption. Lead by stakeholder input, AOAC seeks to provide authoritative guidance that can be broadly implemented in quality systems and by regulatory bodies.
