Observations for LODs in Dry Pet Food

•  KF (AOAC 2001.12) is LOD validation standard

•  Convection •  135⁰C too hot (118%) •  125⁰C okay •  104⁰C okay

•  Vacuum: too low at 4 h

Karl Fischer (Moisture by Titration)

GOLD STANDARD: Reaction of iodine with water. Used for TRUE MOISTURE & NIR calibration

Not free of procedural issues……..

•  AOAC 2001.12 (I & II) (2005) – Moisture in Animal Feed, Grain and Forage (1-15%) •  AOAC 991.02 (1995) – Moisture in Soft-Moist & Semi-Moist Pet Treats (20-30%) •  ASTM D6869-03 (2011) - Moisture in Plastics (0.005-100%) •  AOCS Ca 2e-84 (1997) Moisture in Fats & Oils

AOAC 2001.12 (I) Moisture in Animal Feed, Grain and Forage (1-15%)

•  High-speed homogenization in vessel? •  Pre-homogenization outside vessel

•  MEOH/Formamide extraction (50⁰C)

•  Time in titration vessel not a factor

•  Run in triplicate •  Comparable to ASTM D6869-03

AOAC 2001.12 (II) Moisture in Animal Feed, Grain and Forage (1-15%)

•  Boiling MEOH (66⁰C) •  No obvious advantages over (I).

•  Small volume of water easy to release? •  Vapor pressure issues •  Never used

AOAC 991.02 – Moisture in Soft-Moist & Semi-Moist Pet Treats (20-30%)

•  MEOH extraction with titration

•  Shake 15 min @ room temperature

•  10 g

•  Results always low

•  Limited by time

ASTM D6869-03 - Moisture in Plastics (0.005-100%)

•  Used by global pet food giants

•  0.10 to 1.0 g (

AOCS Ca 2e-84 (1997) Moisture in Fats & Oils

•  5-25 g sample of fat or oil

•  Chloroform/methanol extraction

•  Electrometric end point

•  No time restrictions
