In some pharmaceutical industry circles, there is the belief that the stringent specifications that rule pharmaceutical processes have no comparison with the food and dairy industries. " Actually, almost the reverse is true the present standards and specifications for tubing fabrication and their product/solution contact surfaces, as well as the installation of systems, have their origin in the dairy industry through the well-recognized 3-A Sanitary Standards and Accepted Practices (Numbers 33-00, and 605-04). Published by the International Association for Food Protection (IAFP), formerly known as the International Association of Milk, Food and Environmental Sanitarians (lAMFES), these standards and practices cover first.

Established in 1894, AOAC International is an independent association of scientists and organizations in the public and private sectors devoted to promoting methods validation and quality measurements in the analytical sciences. AOAC has a mission to ensure the development, testing, validation, and publication of reliable chemical and biological methods of analysis for foods, drugs, feed-stuffs, fertilizers, pesticides, water, forensic materials and other substances affecting public health and safety and the environment. 

The new quality concept was developed in cooperation with other research members of the international research association Organic Food Quality and Health (FQH, for projects and partners see www.organicfqhresearch.org). The research association was established to promote research into the health effects of good quality organic food and to develop parameters for quality assessment. The research members distinguish four lines of research ...

The European Industrial Gases Association working with the Compressed Gases Association of America and the International Association of Beverage Technologists has prepared a specification for liquid carbon dioxide for use in foods and beverages. This is shown as Table 7.1. It is to this minimum standard that all carbon dioxide to be delivered to soft drinks and aerated mineral water bottles is manufactured.

Officials from the CFSAN and the CVM also participate in the development of standards by such domestic and international groups as the Food Chemicals Codex (FCC), AOAC International (previously, the Association of Official Analytical Chemists), expert committees of the WHO, FAO, ISO, and other international consensus standards bodies. Standards developed by these organizations are used by industry, both in the United States and abroad. These standards provide industry with guidance for food grade materials and processes, and thus help elevate the quality of food and food chemicals in domestic and international trade. 

For the publication of original matter and occasional reviews, some papers in dairy chemistry, but not very many, appear in American Chemical Society journals, as also in the Journal of Biological Chemistry, The main publication in the field in this country is the Journal of Dairy Science, Qi the American Dairy Science Association. This, however, covers a very much broader field than chemistry. The Journal of Milk and Food Technology, which is the official organ of the International Association of Milk and Food Sanitarians, is primarily concerned with papers of public health interest. The Journal of the Association of Official Agricultural Chemists contains some reports on analytical methods appertaining to the dairy field. There are also numerous trade magazines in which scientific and technical articles appear from time to time.
