Solid-Phase Extraction in Food Lipid Analysis
Scientists from the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences (Uppsala, Sweden) and the University of Tabriz (Tabriz, Iran) developed a single-step solid-phase extraction (SPE) method to completely separate sterol oxidation products in food lipids.
Scientists from the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences (Uppsala, Sweden) and the University of Tabriz (Tabriz, Iran) developed a single-step solid-phase extraction (SPE) method to completely separate sterol oxidation products in food lipids. The method used 1 g of silica and could be used for both transesterified and cold saponified oil samples. They tested the method and applied it to the analysis of various vegetable oils and to monitoring hazelnut oil production. Further analysis was performed by gas chromatography (GC) and GC–mass spectrometry.
RAFA 2024 Highlights: Contemporary Food Contamination Analysis Using Chromatography
November 18th 2024A series of lectures focusing on emerging analytical techniques used to analyse food contamination took place on Wednesday 6 November 2024 at RAFA 2024 in Prague, Czech Republic. The session included new approaches for analysing per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), polychlorinated alkanes (PCAS), Mineral Oil Hydrocarbons (MOH), and short- and medium-chain chlorinated paraffins (SCCPs and MCCPs).
