Quantitative analysis of triglycerides by high-performance liquid chromatography using non-linear gradient elution and flame ionization detection
Abstract
A high-performance liquid chromatographic (HPLC) technique using a commercial flame ionization detector for the analysis of triglyceride mixtures is described and discussed. A non-linear gradient elution programme giving a linear relationship between equivalent carbon numbers (ECNs) and retention times was developed. A new effect of chain length asymmetry on ECN values has been found.
