Figure 8 GC-EIMS chromatographic data for fatty acid DMOX derivatives of trans 18:1<br />

positional isomers using an SP-2560 100 m � 0.25 mm fused silica capillary column at<br />

140�C. Injection volume: top trace, 0.4 �L; bottom trace, 1.0 �L. (From Ref. 110.)<br />

Microscale supercritical fluid extraction (SFE) can be directly coupled to a<br />

capillary SFC column. This procedure was used to analyze the fatty acid composition<br />

of a 1-mg sample of cottonseed kernel [128].<br />

SFC with an FTIR detector (SFC-FTIR) has been used to elucidate structural<br />

information from fatty acid isomer mixtures. St<strong>and</strong>ards as well as fatty acids were<br />

separated from coconut oil, Ivory soap, soybean oil, <strong>and</strong> butterfat by means of a<br />

packed SFC column [130]. The presence of unsaturated fatty acids was verified by<br />

an IR absorption maximum at 3016 cm �1 . SFC-IR spectroscopy was used to analyze<br />

triacylglycerols <strong>and</strong> free fatty acids under similar conditions [131]. One study featured<br />

an SFC coupled to an FTIR spectrophotometer equipped with a LP flow cell<br />

to determine the level of trans unsaturation in partially hydrogenated soybean oil<br />

[132]. The IR absorption b<strong>and</strong> at 3016 cm �1 indicated the presence of linoleic acid,<br />

while the 972 cm �1 absorption b<strong>and</strong> indicated the presence of trans unsaturation.<br />

A packed microcolumn argentation SFC system was used to separate <strong>and</strong> quantitate<br />

triacylglycerols in vegetable, fish, <strong>and</strong> hydrogenated oils [133]. This system<br />

gave excellent separations for these complex samples <strong>and</strong> was as effective as HPLC.<br />
