Fatty Acid Methyl Ester Analysis
Fatty acid and fatty acid methyl ester analysis can be applied to various industries.
In the field of food nutrition and food chemistry, GC and LC analysis of fatty acids and their methyl ester derivatives (FAME) are important tools for fat characterization.
In the chemical industry, fatty acid methyl esters are important chemical raw materials. FAME obtained from the methyl esterification of vegetable oils or other oils are popular for biodiesel fuels. There are differences in composition and content of biodiesel made from raw materials of different sources. An accurate understanding of the composition and content of mixed fatty acid methyl esters is helpful for the quality control of biodiesel and subsequent products.
The fatty acid components commonly contained in microbial cell structure have a high degree of homology with microbial DNA, and various microbes have their characteristic cellular fatty acid fingerprints. Analyzing the phospholipid fatty acid on the cell membrane of microorganisms can promote the detection and identification of microbial diversity and the study of microbial diversity.
Creative Proteomics has established a fatty acid methyl ester analysis platform, using LC-MS/MS and GC-MS/MS technologies to achieve efficient and accurate composition and quantitative analysis of fatty acid methyl esters.
