Fatty acid profile of lipid extracts, fats, and oils

Determination of fatty acid profile of crude lipid extract, fats, or oils with GC-MS or GC-FID. The measurement includes the determination of the following fatty acids: • 4:0 • 6:0 • 8:0 • 10:0 • 11:0 • 12:0 • 13:0 • 14:0 • 14:1 (n−5) • 15:0 • 15:1 (n−5) • 16:0 • 16:1 (n−7) • 17:0 • 17:1 (n−7) • 18:0 • trans-18:1 (n−9) • cis-18:1 (n−9) • trans-18:2 (n−6) • cis-18:2 (n−6) • cis-18:3 (n−6) • trans-18:3 (n−3) • cis-18:3 (n−3) • 20:0 • 20:1 (n−9) • 21:0 • 20:2 (n−6) • 20:3 (n−6) • 20:4 (n−6) • 20:3 (n−3) • 22:0 • 22:1 (n−9) • 20:5 (n−3) • 22:2 (n−6) • 23:0 • 24:0 • 24:1 (n−9) • 22:5 (n−3) • 22:6 (n−3)
