Charged Aerosol Detection Symposium - Session 3

Food and beverage applications
Did you know that CAD can be used in application areas such as food and beverages, in lipid analysis for food fraud and for sugar fingerprinting? It’s also used to detect specialty chemicals and polymers, such the environmentally toxic agent polyacrylic acid.
Presentations:
CAD Tips and Tricks
Paul Gamache and Chris Tuczemskyi - Thermo Fisher Scientific

- Predict the level of adulteration and the adulterant
- Quantitation for analytes where analytical reference standards are not available
- Using CAD with other detectors
Who should attend:
- Laboratory managers and directors
- Technology leaders
- Principal scientists
- Laboratory analyst
Presenter: Jason M. Price (Principal Scientist, Procter & Gamble, USA)
Jason Price received his Ph.D. in Chemistry from Purdue University in 2002 where he worked with Professor Hilkka Kenttämaa to understand the factors that influence the fundamental reactivity of organic radicals and biradicals via their ion-molecule reactions in Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometers. After graduation, Jason joined Procter & Gamble in Cincinnati, OH working in Beauty Analytical to drive upstream technologies to in-market products across Personal Cleansing, Skin Care and Hair Care categories. He developed expertise in quantifying deposition and bioavailability of actives to guide formulation development and claim support. Jason is currently a Principal Scientist in P&G’s Trace Analytical Capability where he has worked since 2009. In this role, he supports all P&G businesses by leading (1) the development of quantitative LC-MS/MS assays and (2) the identification of unknowns (e.g., impurities, degradation products, contaminants) in complex mixtures by high-resolution mass spectrometry.
Presenter: Hilary Green (Graduate student, Ph.D. Candidate, University of California, Davis USA)
Hilary’s is a Ph.D. candidate in the Agricultural and Environmental Chemistry group at the University of California, Davis. Her interest in research interests stem from her passions for food and the environment through the lens of analytical chemistry. Her dissertation focuses on ensuring the authenticity and quality of edible oils. She has published a faster and less wasteful method to detect olive oil adulteration. She also published a work evaluating the chemical composition of avocado oils on the US market. For the final part of her dissertation, she is working to understand the natural variance in avocado oils to support the standard development effort for this oil. In addition, she is developing a better method to detect adulteration in avocado oil. Hilary’s research is closely connected to the food industry and consumers; thus, she is broadly interested in educating the public on scientific research.
Presenter: Ulrike Holzgrabe (Univ of Wuerzburg)
Moderator: Frank Steiner (Senior Manager of Product Applications, Thermo Fisher Scientific)
Frank Steiner is Senior Manager of Product Applications and coordinates HPLC based scientific collaborations in Thermo Fisher Scientific as scientific advisor. He joined Dionex Corporation in 2005, now a part of Thermo Fisher Scientific, and had been manager in various HPLC marketing functions. Frank received his PhD degree in chemistry in 1995 from Saarland University in Saarbruecken, Germany where he became assistant professor in 1997 and associate professor in 2003, after his postdoc at the nuclear research center in Saclay, France in 1996. Frank published more than 30 publications in refereed journals and more than 10 text book chapters on HPLC topics.
Moderator: Paul Gamache (Director Research Development, Thermo Fisher Scientific)
Paul is an analytical chemist who joined Thermo Fisher Scientific in 2011 through acquisition of Dionex Corporation. He is a Director of R &D responsible for development of analytical technologies with primary focus on charged aerosol detection (CAD) and electrochemical detection (ECD) for LC. Prior to joining Dionex in 2009, Paul led the development of first and second generation Corona CAD products. He has published more than 50 articles and book chapters and was co-awardee of an NIH Roadmap grant for development of hyphenated EC and LC-MS technologies for metabolomics research. Paul is editor and contributing author to the book “Charged Aerosol Detection for Liquid Chromatography and Related Separation Techniques” published in 2017 by John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
