Detection of 2-Dodecylcyclobutanone in Low-Dose Irradiated (0.5 Gy) Goose Fat by Triple-Quad GC-MS/MS

Review Data

Purpose and Significance of Study: This study attempted to develop a sensitive procedure to detect low-dose irradiation in the scale of 0.5 Gy to 20 Gy in goose fat by detection of 2-dodecylcyclobutanone. It may further aid in the detection of irradiation in foodstuff.

Fit with Scope of Journal: The manuscript is of very high interest for the Journal of Food Nutrition and Metabolism.

There are some minor errors (already corrected in the galley proof), which are listed below –

 

The common errors are –

·       Omission or overuse of articles, e.g., overuse of “a” before “high” in the 1^st sentence of the last paragraph of Abstract, omission of “the” before “concentration” in the 6^th sentence of Labeling and verification in the Introduction, and so on.

·       Omission or overuse of “,”, e.g., overuse after “intensity” in the 6^th sentence of Labeling and verification in the Introduction, omission after “e.g.” in the 3^rd and last sentences of Use of ionizing radiation  in the Introduction, and so on.

·       “,” before “thus” must be replaced with “;” in each place.

·       “radiation-induced”, “fat-containing”, “best-suited”, “non-irradiated”, “high-performance”, and “clean-up” must be hyphenated.

The others are –

In the Introduction –

  Under Use of ionizing radiation –

·       In the 1^st sentence, “in” must be replaced with “for”.

·       In the 3^rd sentence, “less” must be replaced with “lower”.

  Under Labelling and verification –

·       In the 2^nd sentence, “control the compliance” must be replaced with “comply”

  Under Aim of Investigations –

·       In the 1^st sentence, “investigations” must be replaced with “investigation”, “which” must be replaced with “that”, and “possible also” must be replaced with “also possible”.

In the Materials and methods –

  Under Extraction and clean-up process –

  In the 3^rd paragraph –

·       In the 1^st sentence, “were” must be replaced with “was”.

In the Results and discussion –

  Under Optimizing the extraction and cleanup –

·       In the last sentence, “this” must be replaced with “these”.

  Under Optimizing the detection of 2-DCB –

·       In the 6^th sentence, “marker” must be replaced with “markers”.
