N-methyl fatty hydroxamic acids (N-MFHAs) is a derivative of a hydroxamic acid (FHA), were synthesized from ketapang seed oil (Terminalia catappa L.) with N-methyl hydroxylamine enzymatically using immobilized lipase (Lipozyme TL IM). N-MFHAs that are synthesized are still in a mixed state of triglycerides of the ketapang seed oil. This research aims to determine the optimum conditions for the separation of N-MFHAs into their single components and their percentage composition using High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC). The specification of the HPLC system includes using the reverse phase column SGE C-18 ODS-2 and UV detector 213 nm. The optimum conditions for the separation of N-MFHAs in the HPLC system include using the mobile phase of methanol 100% and flow rate of 0.25 mL/minutes with an injection volume of 20 µL and sample concentration of 10.000 ppm. The percentage of the N-MFHAs composition successfully separated using HPLC were linoleoyl-methyl-fatty hydroxamic acid (13.09%), oleoyl-methyl-fatty hydroxamic acid (62.46%), palmitoyl-methyl-fatty hydroxamic acid (19.51%), and stearoyl-methyl-fatty hydroxamic acid (4.93%).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
