Fatty Acid/FAME Analysis

For the food chemist, determining the fatty acid composition of a product may be difficult because foods can contain a complex mixture of saturated, monounsaturated, and polyunsaturated fatty acids, each with a variety of carbon chain lengths. The content below was assembled to help food chemists in identifying the proper products for the GC analysis of fatty acids, either as free fatty acids or as fatty acid methyl esters (FAMEs). Many of these specialized products, such as GC columns, SPE tubes, reagents, and chemical standards, were specifically developed for use in the qualitative and/or quantitative identification of fatty acids.
