Superior Sample Preparation and GC of Fatty Acid Methyl Esters

Fatty acids are important analytes for nutritional value, product taste/texture, shelf-life and place of origin studies. They are not only relevant in food, but also in clinical, biochemical, industrial, agriculture testing. In this talk we will give the background of fatty acid analysis and describe some current techniques and new developments for the GC analysis of fatty acids in a variety of applications. A special focus of the webinar is the separation of cis and trans isomers by either a sample prep approach using SPE or by improved GC approaches.
