Abstract/Description

The PTFI Fatty Acid Methyl Esters (FAMEs) platform supports targeted characterization of the fatty acid composition in food and/or biological samples. This method uses a biphasic extraction with water and hexane to isolate fatty acids prior to analysis with gas chromatography coupled with flame ionization detection (GC-FID).
