General description

Methyl oleate is a methyl ester of the monounsaturated fatty acid (MUFA), oleic acid, which is abundantly found in dietary fats and oils.

Application

This analytical standard can also be used as follows:

  • Determination of free fatty acids in plasma samples following their methylation by gas chromatography (GC)
  • 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
  • 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
  • Simultaneous determination of fatty acids in bovine colostrum samples by GC-FID after their derivatization to ester forms using an acidic catalyst boron trifluoride
