However, the acceptability requirements have been modified from the SMPR requirements. The AOAC SMPR requires a spike recovery of 97-102%. For our current method, we use an acceptability spike recovery range of 85-115%, which was modified from Appendix K of the AOAC Guidelines for Dietary Supplements and Botanicals based on the performance of the method and the inherent variability of headspace gas chromatography. This expanded range reflects the performance of the method in a production environment. Please let me know if you have any other questions.
