Abstract

Long chain fatty methyl esters have been separated by high performance liquid chromatography on the basis of number, position, and geometric configuration of double bonds with a silver nitrate-silicic acid column and benzene solvent. Saturated esters are eluted first, followed by methyl elaidate and then methyl oleate. Geometric isomers of methyl 9,12-octadecadienoate and of methyl 9,15-octadecadienoate are also well separated. Methyl linolenate is retained strongly on the column and its elution has not been observed, but thetrans, trans, trans andtrans, cis, trans isomers are separated.
