Nr. Antoniosi et Fm. Lancas, IDENTIFICATION OF FAMES USING ECL VALUES AND A 3-DIMENSIONAL KOVATS RETENTION INDEX SYSTEM, HRC. Journal of high resolution chromatography, 18(3), 1995, pp. 167-170
n-Alkanes and fatty acid methyl esters have been chromatographed on fo
ur capillary columns of different polarity (LM-1 (100 % polydimethylsi
loxane), CB-225 (25 % cyanopropyl, 25 % phenyl polysiloxane), LM-100 (
immobilized polyethylene glycol), and BPX-70 (70 % cyanopropyl polysil
oxane)) with the goal of identifying the major fatty acid methyl ester
s obtained by derivatization of vegetable oils. Chromatographic retent
ion data were employed for the construction of a three-dimensional Kov
ats retention index system and for the elaboration of a table of equiv
alent chain length values.
