There is a consensus that electron impact ionization mass spectrometry is not capable of discriminating among geometrical isomers of unsaturated fatty acid methyl esters (and in general olefinic compounds). In this paper, we report the identification of all eight geometrical

Gas chromatography using a highly polar column combined with field ionization mass spectrometry (FI-MS) is used as a comprehensive two-dimensional (2D) separation approach to analyze mixtures of fatty acid methyl esters (FAMEs). A unique ordered pattern and classification of FAMEs
