Article Synopsis
- A multi-laboratory validation study was conducted to assess the AOAC OMA 2016.09 method, involving eight labs worldwide that tested six different raw materials and formulated products, all meeting acceptance criteria.
- The study focused on evaluating specificity, precision, linearity/range, system suitability, limit of detection (LOD), and limit of quantitation (LOQ), as accuracy and ruggedness had already been validated previously.
- Results indicated no major interferences in chromatograms for aloin A, aloin B, and aloe-emodin, with high precision (≤ 0.05 ppm differences) and strong linearity (R ≥ 0.999 across standards), confirming the method's reliability.
