KEYWORDS
ABSTRACT
Saturated fatty acids (FAs), positional and geometric isomers of mono-, di- and tri-unsaturated
FAs containing eighteen carbon atoms were separated on two long HPLC RP-C18 columns. All FAs
in ovine milk, meat, fat, and intestinal digesta were assayed after pre-column derivatization using UV
detection at 256 nm. The content of conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) in processed samples can be
determined by using simultaneous UV monitoring at 256 and 235 nm. The presented method is a
simple, sensitive and selective analytical tool for routine quantification of FAs and CLA.
