The problems of adulteration in the vegetable oil and fat have been the major draw backs in the food products formulation, in spite of the various adulteration detection methods in different applications that have been reported. However, the detection tools that can be fast and reliable for the routine analysis necessitated the current work. The two groups of three different samples: vegetable fat containing sample (Blue Band, Golden Penny, La Prairie Classic) and animal fat containing samples (Kell Salad Cream, Crosse & Blackwell and Nola) was used for the purity check using the reversed phased - thin layer chromatographic (RPTLC) method of analysis were developed. The average Rf ratio of 0.95 and 0.92, found for the vegetable and animal fat groups were reported, respectively. The Rf = 0.03 difference between the two groups indicated the presence of sistosterol (plant sterol) and cholesterol (animal sterol), an improvement over color detection methods to screen oils and fats to ascertain purity.

Abstract A inethod is described for analysis of sterols by thin layer chromatography-gas liquid chromatography (TLC-GLC). Sterols are isolated from other components of unsaponifiable matter by preparative TLC. The sterols are quantitatively removed from the TLC plate, extracted from the silica gel, and analyzed by GLC. This method has been used to detect low levels (2–3%) of animal fat in vegetable oil by measuring the cholesterol content of the animal fatvegetable oil admixtures.

Abstract We compared seven techniques, commonly used for detection of amniotic fluid phospholipids in thin-layer chromatography, with respect to their sensitivity to saturation of the fatty acid carbon-chain of lecithin. The techniques fell into two classes: sensitive and insensitive; those classed as saturation sensitive were less than or equal to 10% as sensitive to fully saturated lecithin as to lecithin with singly unsaturated acid moieties. Color development increased with the number of carbon-carbon double bonds per molecule but required only a single unsaturated acid ester in either the alpha or the beta position. Mixtures of lecithins with defined saturation, when detected by saturation-sensitive methods, mimicked the uneven coloration of amniotic fluid lecithin bands, supporting the hypothesis that this uneven coloration results from natural saturation heterogeneity. Detection techniques representative of these classes are shown to give widely differing values for the lecithin/sphingomyelin ratio for actual specimens of amniotic fluid.

Investigations on the hydrophobic and ionophoric character of para-(5-phthalhydrazide-azo)-phenylene-N-aza-15-crown- (1) were carried out by reversed phase thin layer chromatography (RP-TLC) and spectrophotometric measurements. The study included complexes with Li+ and Na+ cations (as perchlorates in acetonitrile and as dibenzyldithiocarbamate salts in chloroform). In both cases, the stoichiometry of complexes was 1:1:1 (1:M+:anion pair). The complex stability (logKS ) is similar.
