Analysis of sorbitan fatty acid esters by HPLC

  • Published:
Journal of the American Oil Chemists’ Society

Abstract

Sorbitan esters of several fatty acids have been analyzed by high pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC) using an RP-18 column. No derivatization was necessary. Mono-, di- and trisorbitan esters of palmitic, stearic, oleic, isostearic and sesquioleic acid have been separated using isopropanol/water as the elution mixture.
