Webinar on Regulatory analysis of Mycotoxins in Food (Nuts & cereals)
Mycotoxins are metabolites of fungi having potential carcinogenic, mutagenic and other toxic effects in human and animals. Mycotoxin contamination frequently causes trade issues. Regulations have been established in many countries to protect the consumer from the harmful effects of mycotoxins. So, their detection at trace level or below regulatory limit is important. To comply

Webinar on Analysis of Pharmaceuticals and Personal Care Products in Water
Pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPs) are gathering increased attention as their presence in wastewater effluents, surface as well as drinking water is elucidated. Because pharmaceuticals and many personal care products are intended to illicit a biological response by design, their presence in aquatic environment even in very low concentration is a matter of

Webinar on Measurement Uncertainty in Food Microbiological Testing
Microbiological testing is carried out for food and feed samples, to determine the quality and safety of the product. In microbiological analysis the result is obtained by counting individual live organisms which are rarely distributed randomly in a food matrix. It is due to these reasons that, there is an uncontrollable ‘variation without a

Webinar on Foreign Material in Food & Beverage (Investigation & Testing)
The Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points (HACCP) system classifies risks to consumers into three categories—biological, chemical, and physical—and it emphasizes preventing, reducing, or eliminating high-risk biological hazards. Food safety professionals, as a result of years of education, experience, and audits to the HACCP system, often relegate physical hazards to lower risk status, primarily controlled
DetailsWebinar on Global Regulatory Landscape for Microbiological Testing in Food
There is growing focus of regulatory agencies across globe to tackle issues related to food safety. Microbiological food safety being an integral part of this wheel, it becomes of prime importance to understand and learn microbiological parameters and controls placed by regulatory agencies in US, EU & key countries in APAC.
