Gas-Liquid Chromatographic Determination of C22 Fatty Acids for the Certification of Low Erucic Acid Varieties of Rapeseeds
Keyword(s):
Abstract A rapid gas-liquid chromatographic (GLC) procedure was developed for the determination of C22 fatty acids (mostly erucic acid) in rapeseeds containing less than 5% erucic acid. The method involves an oil extraction from a representative sample of rapeseeds, a vigorous boron trifluoride-methanol transesterification of the oil to methyl esters, and analysis by GLC with the aid of an electronic integrator. Six laboratories participated in a monthly check sample program. By adjusting the GLC detector response with 2 synthetic reference standard mixtures containing 1.0 and 3.0% methyl behenate, interlaboratory agreement within 0.3% C22 was consistently obtained.
