Gas-chromatography/mass-spectrometry analysis of human skin constituents as heptafluorobutyrate derivatives with special reference to long-chain bases

The composition of the constituents (monosaccharides, long-chain bases, and fatty acids) found in an ethanol extract of the human skin could be determined, without time-consuming steps of purification, after acid-catalyzed anhydrous methanolysis, followed by the formation of volatile derivatives wit...
