Round  1

Reviewer 1 Report

Materials and methods

The names of countries and cities should be given for individual reagents and measuring equipment (e.g.Merck (Germany, city......));

In the same section authors should add section "method validation" and here, describe the validation parameters for the developed method and, above all, explain to the reader what is the Enrichment factors and how it is calculated.


Results and discussion

Section Analytical performance of the proposed method. Here the results of method validation should be described, and not all parameters of their calculation.
Validation parameters with the counting method, formulas should be found in the materials and methods section.


Figure 6. the names of the compounds on the chromatogram 2b should be poprwione because currently they are not readable


Figure 7. How authors explain chromatogram c and d.

Chromatogram c present grilled pork sample spiked with 0.05 mg/kg of each polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, chromatogram d sample spiked at the concnetration 0.1 mg/kg of PAHs but peaks are 5 and 10 times higher.
