Sensitive and accurate quantitation of monoepoxy fatty acids in thermoxidized oils by gas-liquid chromatography.

A sensitive and accurate methodology for quantitation of monoepoxy fatty acid methyl esters (FAME) by gas-liquid chromatography is proposed. Analytical problems of interfering compounds, ie, methyl monoester of azelaic acid and methyl docosanoate, were solved by a second methylation step with diazomethane and by elimination of nonpolar FAME by adsorption chromatography, respectively. Six monoepoxy FAME were identified and quantitated in olive and sunflower oils heated at 180 degrees C for 15 h: trans-9,10- and cis-9,10-epoxystearate coming from oleate and trans-12,13-, trans-9,10-, cis-12,13- and cis-9,10-epoxyoleate coming from linoleate. Results demonstrated total recovery of monoepoxy compounds after nonpolar FAME elimination with the additional advantage of sample concentration, which allowed quantitation of monoepoxy FAME in the initial oils. Also, repeatability was excellent as relative standard deviations ranged from 2.2 to 5.1% for on-column injection and from 0.1 to 2.0% for automatic split injection.[1]
