| Abstract: | The concentration of long-chain fatty acids (LCFAs) in human serum is closely related to human health. It is therefore important to develop a fast, low-cost, efficient method for their determination. In this study, by using fast temperature programming and micro-bore short capillary columns, a fast gas chromatography method was developed for the direct analysis of non-derivatized LCFAs including n-dodecanoic acid to n-hexacosanic acid (C12:0-C26:0, even numbers only), linoleic acid (C18:2), oleic acid (C18:1), and erucic acid (C22:1) within 4.0 min. Method optimization including extraction and separation conditions is considered, and the analysis of real serum samples is presented. The results show that ten LCFAs were well separated with sufficient resolution, and the detection limit was in the range of 2.8-9.6 microg/mL. The reproducibility (RSD) for both intra-day and inter-day determination was always less than 15%, and the recoveries for these LCFAs were from 63.1 to 97.0%. |
