Transesterification of phospholipids or triglycerides to fatty acid benzyl esters with simultaneous methylation of free fatty acids for gas-liquid chromatographic analysis.
A novel method is presented for transesterification of fatty acid esters in phospholipids and triglycerides to benzyl esters while simultaneously recovering free fatty acids as methyl esters. Transesterification is catalyzed by 0.2 M (m-trifluoromethyl phenyl)trimethyl ammonium hydroxide in methylen...
