Overall 3.1 a  Samples were run in triplicate across 4 days, n = 12. Deviation is footnoted due to outliers by Grubbs’ test at a 95% confidence interval, loss of

sample during preparation, or failure to prepare in triplicate. Twelve data points were still obtained for all samples. b  Free carnitine certified mass fraction mean and range of 13.6 mg/100 g and 12.2–15.0 mg/100 g, respectively. c  Results below the SMPR-required LOQ of 0.16 mg/100 g and not included in the calculations. d  NA = Not applicable. e  One day of duplicates used for calculation. f  Calculated across 5 days.
