Figure 7 Exp<strong>and</strong>ed IR spectral range showing out-of-plane deformation b<strong>and</strong>s for conjugated<br />

cis-trans (top spectrum) <strong>and</strong> trans-trans (bottom spectrum) 18:2 dienes. (From Ref.<br />

108.)<br />

GC-MI-FTIR is also effective in determining the concentration of individual<br />

fatty acid methyl esters without having to consider the relative response of the gas<br />

chromatograph’s flame ionization detector (FID). It is possible to quantitate trans<br />

isomers even with partial GC peak overlap from cis isomers. Quantitation of trans<br />

diene isomers was based on measurement of the height of the observed C—H outof-plane<br />

deformation b<strong>and</strong> at 971 cm �1 for trans groups <strong>and</strong> that of the CH 2 asymmetric<br />

stretching b<strong>and</strong> at 2935 cm �1 for the 17:0 internal st<strong>and</strong>ard [107]. Calibration<br />

plots of absorbance versus nanograms injected were generated for the range of 2–<br />

33 ng. Recovery (on cryogenic disk) was based on the determination of the internal<br />

st<strong>and</strong>ard. The amount of analyte present in injected aliquots was calculated from the<br />

observed absorbance values <strong>and</strong> the corresponding calibration plot.<br />
