Title: Fatty Acid Composition Analysis of Common Animal Fats and Vegetable Oils
Abstract: The fatty acid composition of 16 vegetable oil samples and animal fat from 4 species was analyzed by GC-MS for a detailed understanding the percentages of various fatty acids and their nutritional characteristics.The sample pretreatment was achieved through mythyl esterification in the presence of KOH/MeOH.The major fatty acids in the edible fats and oils included palmitic acid,stearic acid,oleic acid,11-octadecenoic acid,linoleic acid,linolenic acid,11-eicosenoic acid and erucic acid.Among them,a very high difference was in the ratios among saturated,monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fatty acids.Meanwhile,the ratio between n-6 and n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids also exhibited an obvious difference.
