A new concept for determining triglyceride composition of fats and oils by liquid chromatography

Abstract

Abstract The matrix concept was used to characterize the chromatographic rules in the elution of molecular species of triglyceride. To prove the hypothesis experimentally, cacao butter, palm oil, linseed oil, olive oil, rapeseed oil and triglyceride of “Ogonori” ( Gracilaria verrucosa ) were examined. A matrix model was suggested to help determine the individual molecular species of naturally occurring triglycerides.
