Modified Techniques for Improved Gas Chromatographic Quantification of Free Fatty Acids in Dairy Foods

Abstract
Modified techniques for improved routine gas chromatographic quantification of individual free fatty acids include the use of diethylene glycol succinate columns, incorporation of a C-9 free fatty acid internal standard, removal of excess water from free fatty acid isolates and gas chromatographic systems and exclusion of chemical contaminants from free fatty acid isolates.
