Analysis for geometrical and positional isomers of fatty acids in partially hydrogenated fats

  • Published:

Abstract

A liquid Chromatographic procedure for frac-tionation and analysis of methyl esters from fats is described. First, esters are separated by liquid chromatography on a partially vulcanized rubber column into trienoate, dienoate, monoenoate-palmitate and stearate fractions. The monoenoate-palmitate fraction is separated by liquid chro-matography on a silver-saturated cation exchange resin into palmitate,trans monoenoate and cis monoenoate fractions. Double bond positions intrans and cis monoenoates are located by ozoniza-tion and gas chromatography of fragments. This separation procedure requires less time and uses simpler apparatus with smaller samples than a previously described method based on counter-current distribution. Data from analyses of two liquid oils and four shortenings are presented.
