The Harvey W. Wiley Award, presented each year for outstanding contribution to analytical method development in an area of interest to AOAC International, went to Michelle Colgrave, internationally recognized for her work on foodborne proteins that trigger allergy or intolerance or, conversely, those peptides and proteins that can provide health benefits when included in foods. She is a professor of Food and Agricultural Proteomics at Edith Cowan University and chief investigator at the Australian Research Council Center of Excellence for Innovations in Peptide and Protein Science.
The highest volunteer award bestowed by AOAC, the William Horwitz Award, recognizes extraordinary service to the Association. The seldom nominated William Horwitz Award was presented to Erik J.M. Konings, who has extensive experience in development of methods of analysis for vitamins in food and food products.
