Method development and Identification of Triacylglycerols species with SFC

Overview

Analyzing Triacylglycerols (TAGs) is essential to evaluate the quality and functionality of oils and fats. Chromatographic separation by typical methods that include GC and HPLC might be challenging due to a large number of TAGs species. Supercritical Fluid Chromatography (SFC) is one chromatography method that uses supercritical fluid (i.e. supercritical carbon dioxide) as a mobile phase. Here, we introduce the workflow of method scouting of SFC using Method Scouting Solutions and how to establish the optimized analytical method for TAGs species in natural oils and fats.
