Label Claim and Adulteration Testing for Dietary Supplements Webinar

Due to the supply-chain challenges during the COVID-19 pandemic, economically motivated adulterations in dietary supplements and ingredients have a greater chance to occur when the products are being transported across different countries and regions.
Because of the complexity and continuous development of the dietary supplement industry, the determination of identity, potency and potential adulteration has become more and more challenging. Orthogonal approaches are often applied by using multiple analytical technologies, ranging from macro-microscopic visual examination to DNA-based, spectroscopic, and chromatographic instrumental testing. In addition, the US FDA cGMP requires using “fit for purpose” and “scientifically valid methods” to perform quality control testing for dietary supplements and ingredients. These principles have been adopted by the industry to guide the development of analytical method strategies.
This presentation discusses further on adulteration risks in botanicals, reviews various quality control analytical strategies and research advances in analytical sciences for dietary supplements and ingredients.
