Comparison with a currently accepted compendium method is another validation approach and is frequently used in industrial research laboratories. This approach uses results from a currently accepted (analytical) method as verification of the new method s results. Agreement between results initially suggests validation. However, disagreement could cast doubts on the acceptability of the new method or may suggest that the currently accepted method is invalid. Validation of compendial methods has been addressed by the USP Chapter (1225) [68]. Interlaboratory collaborative studies are discussed in Chp. 8.4.2.

I. T. Harrison and S. Harrison, Compendium of Organic Synthetic Methods, Vol. 1, Wiley-Interscience, New York, 1971. 

The methods that have been discussed require specially designed instruments. Laboratories without such instruments can measure these gases using general-purpose chemical analytical equipment. A compendium of methods for these laboratories is the "Manual on Methods of Air Sampling and Analysis"published by the American Public Health Association. (10).

This chapter provides a compendium of short engineering calculation methods and formulas for select process operations and equipment. The formulas and procedures provided in this chapter offer simple, rapid estimates of key parameters important to specifying and obtaining various engineering parameters. The information is derived from the open literature, and is believed to be accurate for obtaining better than an order of magnitude estimate for each calculation. 

Though the literature is replete with methods of measuring the moisture content, truly accurate as well as practical methods are virtually nonexistent in the food field. The situation is well illustrated in what is probably the best compendium on this subject, the Official and Tentative Methods of Analysis of the Association of Official Agricultural Chemists (2). It becomes apparent from an examination of this volume that the stress is laid not so much on accuracy as on reproducibility and practicability of a method. Though these last two factors are for the most part the only ones of importance in the control of processing procedures and in standardization of products of commerce, the factor of accuracy is, nevertheless, of extreme importance to the research worker who endeavors to establish broad quantitative generalizations for the conditions that govern the stability of foods.

Compendium of Organic Synthetic Methods , Wiley, New York, contains equations describing the preparation of thousands of monofunctional and difunctional compounds with references. Nine volumes have been published so far (1971 and 1974, edited by Harrison and Harrison 1977, edited by Hegedus and Wade 1980 and 1984, edited by Wade 1988, 1992, 1995, and 2000 edited by Smith). Volume 10 will appear in 2000-2001.
