Abstract

A quick routine analysis has been established for quantitative determination of thirteen individual C18 trans fatty acids in both pressed and solvent extracted non-hydrogenated edible vegetable oils, using gas chromatography-mass spectrometer (GC-MS) equipped with HP-88 capillary column following potassium hydroxide/methanol (KOH/MeOH) methylation. Based on optimization and appraisal of the characteristics of GC-MS, thirteen C18 trans fatty acid methyl ester (FAME) standards were separated and verified in 23min, validation experiments were also conducted. The correlation coefficient was R2≥0.99 in the linear range of each FAME. At the low, medium and high fortification levels, recoveries fell within 90-119%. The relative standard deviations were below 9% for all 13 FAMEs. Low limits of detection (0.001-0.002g/100g) and quantification (0.002-0.007g/100g) were readily achieved. The content of C18 trans fatty acid isomers in pressed and solvent extracted oils were analyzed using this method.
