“…TCs extraction remains a difficult task as they are soluble in acids, bases, or polar organic solvents, but not in saturated hydrocarbons (Santos & Ramos, 2016). These compounds are commonly extracted from the meat using EDTA-McIlvaine buffer, also known as citratephosphate buffer (Alrhia, Mohamad, & Mearoug, 2019;Aman, Ahmed, Mostafa, Kitada, & Kar, 2017;Anderson et al, 2018;Ang, Estaniel, & Guidote, 2017;Gogoi, Roy, & Sinha, 2017;Palisoc et al 2019;Patrabansh et al, 2020), although other organic solvents such as ACN (Feng et al, 2016;Furi, Sinagasa, & Putra, 2018;Mookantsa et al, 2016;Weng et al, 2019, Ma et al, 2020 and ethyl acetate (Zhao et al, 2016) have been also employed. Once in solution, SPE using commercial sorbents, such as C 18 and HLB, are normally used.…”
