Identification and Quantitation of Reaction Intermediates and Residuals in Lipase-Catalyzed Transesterified Oils by HPLC

A high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) unit equipped with size exclusion column and a refractive index detector was used for simultaneous monitoring, identification, and quantitation of the reaction components from lipase-catalyzed transesterification of three oils. The procedure simultaneo...

Description
Summary:A high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) unit equipped with size exclusion column and a refractive index detector was used for simultaneous monitoring, identification, and quantitation of the reaction components from lipase-catalyzed transesterification of three oils. The procedure simultaneously separated and detected the unreacted triacylglycerols (TAG), diacyl-, and monoacyl-glycerol (DAG and MAG) co-products, residual alcohol as well as free fatty acid (FFA) based on retention times. The chromatograms showed well separated and resolved peaks. The elution of the components from the transesterification reaction in increasing order was: TAG
