Quantitative Analysis of Fatty Acids by Gas-Liquid Chromatography

Rapid, Accurate Microanalysis of the Lower Fatty Acids with Particular Reference to Serial Determination.

“…These results constitute a further demonstration of the necessity for calibration of the flame ionization detector in quantitative work, and of the usefulness of a statistical analysis of GLC data. Previously reached by the present author (31), these conclusions can be extended to all methods of detection following the recent publication of a report on analytical GLC accuracy in specialized laboratories (15).…”

Micro Vapor-Phase Hydrogenation Accessory for Gas Chromatographic Analysis of Fatty Acid Esters of Glyceride Oils

“…The area of each peak was multiplied by the square root of the molecular weight of the component before calculating the per cent contribution of each compound in the mixture. This calibration correction for a thermal conductivity detector was suggested by Horning et al (8).…”

Observations on response factors for thermal conductivity detectors in GLC analysis of fatty acid methyl esters

“…where (~)= weight fraction of the i th component ; At = area of the i t T~ component ; Mi = molecular weight of the i t~ component. This equation was applied originally to the GLC analysis of low molecular weight compounds containing a variety of functional groups but was later applied to fatty acid methyl esters (14). From the data in Table III, it is evident that either of these corrections will greatly improve the accuracy of results obtained by isothermal operation.…”
