did you know the AOAC, was founded September 8, 1884 as the Association of Official Agricultural Chemists, by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA)!

Government agencies and civil organisations often require that laboratories use official AOAC methods.

AOAC International's technical contributions center on the "Creation, Validation, and Global Publication" of reliable analytical test methods, primarily to evaluate the safety of foods, beverages, dietary supplements, and similar materials consumed by humans and animals, or to evaluate purity of materials used in production of foodstuffs and their ingredients.

This is just Beautiful for $MMTC !



In 1965, the AOAC's name changed to Association of Official Analytical Chemists to accurately reflect its scope beyond agriculture. In 1991, it was renamed AOAC International, which, officially, is not an acronym, despite the AOAC website's encouraging readers to interpret AOAC as an Association of Analytical Communities. The AOAC's publications center upon comprehensive analysis methods, including AOAC Methods of Analysis (1885, 49pp.), Official and Provisional Methods of Analysis of the AOAC (1912), and the monthly Journal of the AOAC, currently its principal periodical, subscribed to by university and industry technical libraries and by members of the AOAC.

imho
