A method used to minimize the errors when an accurate weight or volume of samples is required to determine the amount of 2AP present in the extract [11,12,13], which in this study is by using 2,4,6-trimethylpyridine (TMP) in the quantitative analysis of 2AP by GC-FID. A stock solution of 250 ppm TMP is prepared by adding 10 μL of TMP to 40 mL of acetone. This stock solution will be diluted to 50 ppm before adding it to each 0.1 mL of the extracts, and then 3 μL of the samples will be injected into GC-FID. The following formula can calculate the amount of 2AP present in the sample:
