“…The evolved gaseous compounds were directly transferred to the mass spectrometer, where they were ionised and analysed as a function of time.2.5. GC-MS.Standard solutions of lauric acid (5,216 μg/g), suberic acid (5,474 μg/g), myristic acid (3,889 μg/g), azelaic acid (3,844 μg/g), sebacic acid (4,128 μg/g), palmitic acid (4,530 μg/g), oleic acid (6,279 μg/g), and stearic acid(6,198 μg/g) were made in acetone. Different volumes of the standard solutions were used to obtain calibration curves, with which the concentration of the fatty acids in the samples was then calculated.…”
