German term or phrase: substanzähnlich
All,

I am translating a test report on the emission of volatile organic compounds from structural and non-structural solid timber panels.

Used analytical methods include - among others - thermodesorption gas chromatography mass spectrometry.
The results are summarised in a table that lists CAS No., Substance concentration in test chamber air and lowest concentration of interest for each compount.
One of the table's footnotes (referring to terpen) reads:
"Identifizierung über GC-MS-Spektrenbibliothek, *** substanzähnliche *** Quantifizierung über alpha-Pinen."

Thank you.

The esters formed were extracted with 250 µL pentane containing 5 µL·L−1 α‐pinene as internal standard, vortexed for 1 min and 1 µL of the pentanic phase was injected into the GC for analysis [14].

After more digging, I think this phrase means that the α-pinene, as a similar compound to the analyte, was used as the reference standard during the quantitative determination. A brief way of expressing this could be "quantitated using α-pinene as surrogate standard."

Die Quantifizierung erfolgt über eine lineare Mehrpunktkalibrierung der entsprechenden Referenzsubstanzen sowie dem relativen Responsefaktor des internen Standards (Toluold8). Verbindungen, für die kein entsprechender Standard verfügbar war, wurden substanzähnlich quantifiziert (vgl. Tabelle 2)...

a quantification akin to substance


Explanation:
...by way of alpha pinen

it's not substance-like but only "ähnlich", which refers to quantification (instead of substance) as denominator
