Simultaneous gas chromatographic determination of aliphatic C2−C20 n-carboxylic acids and their methyl esters using SE-30 and OV-351 quartz capillary…

Simultaneous determination of aliphatic C2−C20 carboxylic acids and their methyl esters was carried out using SE-30 and OV-351 quartz capillary columns with temperature programming. Complete resolution of all 36 components was achieved. On SE-30 the methyl ester and the corresponding free acid are eluted in turn, whereas on OV-351 acetic acid eluted after methyl octanoate, after which the Cn methyl ester and Cn-6 carboxylic acid (n>9) are eluted one after the other. A non-polar SE-30 column is better for long-chain acids giving sharp peaks without tailing, the analysis time of the mixture being less than 16 minutes. The weight response correction factors for compounds under optimum operatin…
