“…Apart from IQ, the overall recovery of HCAs conforms well to the AOAC standards, which define an acceptable recovery range as 70% to 125% for analyte concentrations at the 10 ng/g level and 75% to 120% for analyte content at 1 ng/g level in the sample (AOAC, ). The average recoveries of IQx, MeIQx, 4,8‐DiMeIQx, and PhIP using the optimized EMR‐Lipid method in our research are also comparable to values reported in the literature for the traditional Gross methods, with a recovery rate of 28.94% to 89.3% (Gibis, ; Oz & Kaya, ; Puangsombat et al., ; Smith, Ameri, & Gadgil, ), or modified methods that range from 58.2% to 107.6% (Lee et al., ; Yan et al., ), or a QuEChERS method (PSA, C18, and MgSO 4 ) ranging from 65.41& to 117.43% (Hsiao et al., ).…”
