  "text": "The linearity response of the FID must be checked for the analysis taking into account a range of concentrations of trans-anethole in spirits from 0 g/l up to 2.5 g/l. In the procedure of analysis, the unknown samples of spirits to be analysed are diluted 10 times (8.3). For the conditions of the analysis described in the method, stock solutions corresponding to concentrations of 0, 0,05, 0,1, 0,15, 0,2, and 0,25 g/l of trans-anethole in the sample to be analysed are prepared as follows: take 0,5, 1, 1,5, 2, and 2,5 ml of stock solution A (4.5.1) and pipette in separate 20 ml volumetric flasks; pipette into each flask 2 ml of internal standard solution B (4.5.2) and make up to volume with 45 % vol. ethanol (4.4), mix thoroughly.\nThe blank solutions (8.4) is used as the 0 g/l solution.",
