[Saturated fatty acids determination by GLC after TLC separation (author's transl)]. 1975

P Capella, and G Lercker, and L S Conte

The determination of fatty acid composition of oils and fats by conventional GLC on polar columns gives satisfactory results for most of the applications. Higher precision is, however, desirable when the content of minor components is of interest. A typical example is the quantitative determination of the percentage of peanut oil in a seed oil mixture, on the basis of the content of lignoceric acid (n-C21). Lignoceric acid, wich is containen in peanut oil in the amount of 1-2%, shows, on polar columns, a very long retention time and, owing to its low percentage, flat and non well measurable peaks. A method was therefore developed which allows an accurate determination of all saturated fatty acids, particulary of those with high molecular weight. The method is based on the separation of satured fatty acids by argentation TLC followed by GLC determination on non polar columns.

D008970 Molecular Weight The sum of the weight of all the atoms in a molecule. Molecular Weights,Weight, Molecular,Weights, Molecular
D009821 Oils Unctuous combustible substances that are liquid or easily liquefiable on warming, and are soluble in ether but insoluble in water. Such substances, depending on their origin, are classified as animal, mineral, or vegetable oils. Depending on their behavior on heating, they are volatile or fixed. (Dorland, 28th ed)

D002849 Chromatography, Gas Fractionation of a vaporized sample as a consequence of partition between a mobile gaseous phase and a stationary phase held in a column. Two types are gas-solid chromatography, where the fixed phase is a solid, and gas-liquid, in which the stationary phase is a nonvolatile liquid supported on an inert solid matrix.
