Abstract Correct identification of component fatty acids is frequently difficult when determining fatty acid composition by the AOCS-AOAC gas chromatographic method. Fats and oils that contain a large number of components, such as butter, peanut, and marine oils, are particularly troublesome. The usefulness and limitations of (a) isothermal semilogarithmic plots, (b) retention time ratios, (c) programmed temperature semilogarithmic plots, and (d) variation of retention time with temperature are evaluated.

Abstract A collaborative study was conducted on a capillary gas chromatographic method for the determination of mono- and diglycerides in fats and oils. Other components of fats and oils such as glycerol, fatty acids, and sterols may be analyzed by this method. Six materials used in the study consisted of 2 commercial mono- and diglyceride emulsifiers, 2 synthetic compositions with known amounts of monoand diglycerides in the presence of an excess of triglycerides, and 2 refined sunflower oils spiked with mono- and diglycerides. Eight laboratories participated in the study. On the basis of the collaborative study results, the method has been adopted first action by AOAC INTERNATIONAL as an IUPAC/AOCS/AOAC method.
