General description

Methyl linolenate is a methyl ester of the essential omega-3 fatty acid, linolenic acid.

Application

This analytical standard can also be used as follows:

  • Comparative analysis of gas chromatography-combustion-mass spectrometry and gas chromatography-flame ionization detector methods for the determination of fatty acid methyl esters (FAMEs) in biodiesel samples
  • Gas chromatography-tandem differential mobility spectrometry (DMS) based separation and quantification of 16 methyl- and ethyl- fatty acid esters from biodiesel samples
  • Simultaneous determination of fatty acid methyl esters in commercial food oil samples by gas chromatography-vacuum ultraviolet (GC-VUV) spectroscopy
  • Measurement of fatty acid methyl ester composition of various edible oil samples by 1H nuclear magnetic resonance (1H NMR) spectroscopy combined with partial least squares (PLS) method
  • Analysis of coffee oil and residue obtained from roasted coffee beans to determine the composition of 11 fatty acids following their methyl esterification by gas chromatography coupled with a flame ionization detector (GC-FID)
  • Simultaneous determination of fatty acids in bovine colostrum samples by GC-FID after their derivatization to ester forms using an acidic catalyst boron trifluoride

We searched for mutagens that react with 2'-deoxyguanosine (dGuo) in model systems of lipid peroxidation. To autoxidation systems of methyl linoleate (model of omega-6 fat), methyl alpha-linolenate (MLN) (model of omega-3 fat), and commercial salad oil, dGuo was added. The

The autoxidation of polyunsaturated fatty acids is initiated both in vivo and in vitro by nitrogen dioxide. The mechanism of the initiation process is believed to involve both addition reactions and hydrogen atom abstraction reactions, with hydrogen abstraction predominating at

Carotenoid scavenging of free radicals has been investigated in peroxidizing methyl esters of unsaturated fatty acids using (i) metmyoglobin as a water-based free-radical initiator in a heterogeneous lipid/water system, and (ii) azo-bis-isobutyronitrile as a free-radical initiator in a homogeneous chloroform

A new method based on high-performance size-exclusion chromatography (HPSEC) is proposed to quantitate primary and secondary oxidation compounds in model fatty acid methyl esters (FAMEs). The method consists on simply injecting an aliquot sample in HPSEC, without preliminary isolation procedures

Nine hydroperoxy and hydroperoxy-epidioxy oxidation products derived from either autoxidation (AO) or photosensitized oxidation (PO) of methyl linoleate (MLo) or methyl linolenate (MLn) were tested for mutagenic activity by the Salmonella typhimurium his+ reversion assay using strains TA100, TA98, TA102
