R-(+)-limonene found at 1.41 × 10⁻⁵ mol/L (RSD 2.47%) by the TPP/AuNPs-S-Gr sensor and at 4.24 × 10⁻⁵ mol/L (RSD 0.77%) by the Fe(TPFPP)Cl/AuNPs-S-Gr sensor, in the SAME sample — a threefold spread the paper does not explain. THE SAMPLE WAS DILUTED 1:1 (v/v) WITH pH 3.0 PHOSPHATE BUFFER BEFORE MEASUREMENT, so these are concentrations in the buffered sample and not in the bottle; no back-calculation is made here. Both sensors recovered spiked additions of 1 × 10⁻⁵, 1 × 10⁻⁴ and 2 × 10⁻⁴ mol/L at 99.01–99.90%. The analyte is the R-(+) enantiomer, resolved against S-limonene at ratios to 1:100. — Niculae et al. 2022, Sensors (Basel, Switzerland) (Table 5 (TPP/AuNPs-S-Gr sensor) and Table 6 (Fe(TPFPP)Cl/AuNPs-S-Gr sensor), 'Triple sec liqueur' rows, the unspiked 'Amount Found' cell of each)
