Derivatization and Gas Chromatography of Fatty Acids from Yeast
2017
: Analysis of fatty acids by gas chromatography (GC) is facilitated by the generation of volatile fatty acid methyl ester (FAME) derivatives. Here we describe the esterification procedure and a typical program for separating FAMEs using a gas chromatograph equipped with a flame ionization detector or a dual stage quadrupole-mass spectrometry detector. GC is a rather simple technique that provides quantitative information on cellular fatty acid content and composition by use of an internal fatty acid standard.
