Beschreibung
Hinweis zur Analyse
This application illustrates the extraction and GC analysis of walnuts for fatty acids. Walnut is considered a significant plant source of alpha-linolenic acid (ALA). Both ALA and linoleic acid (LA) are the predominant essential fatty acids in humans (1). The samples were prepared using acid digestion /alkali hydrolysis followed by methylation as described in AOCS Official Method Ce 1k-09 (2). BHT was added as an antioxidant prior to extraction. All samples were concentrated to 1 mL prior to GC analysis. The FAME composition of vegetable oils is normally determined using AOCS Method Ce 1h-05, which designates the use of the a cyanopropylsilicone column (3). The SLB-IL111 is a highly polar column which provides alternate selecitivty and resolution of geometric positional isomers of fatty acid methyl esters. It can be used to complement the method designated column.
