Ya. Sultanovitch et al., NOTE - A RAPID METHOD FOR THE DETERMINATION OF LIPIDS AND FATTY-ACIDSIN BREAD BY GAS-CHROMATOGRAPHY, Food science and technology international, 4(3), 1998, pp. 207-210
A new simple and fast analytical method was developed to characterize
the content of lipids and fatty acids in bread. First, fatty acids wer
e determined by gas chromatography and then the content of lipids was
calculated by using a conversion factor. This method gave very accurat
e results; it was three times faster than the conventional solvent ext
raction method and its consumption of solvent was much lower. The high
sensitivity allowed the distribution of lipids in bread to be determi
ned.
