METHYL CAPRYLATE STANDARD FOR GC (C15-1204-672)

General description

Methyl octanoate, also known as methyl caprylate, is an octanoate ester and belongs to the group of fatty acid methyl esters (FAMEs). It is naturally found in Saccharomyces cerevisiae and other organisms.

Application

This analytical standard can also be used as follows:

• Gas chromatography-tandem differential mobility spectrometry (DMS) based separation and quantification of 16 methyl- and ethyl- fatty acid esters from biodiesel samples
• Development and validation of a gas chromatography-flame ionization (GC-FID) method to determine fatty acid methyl esters (FAMEs) in beer wort samples following their solid phase extraction and BF₃ based methylation
• Comparative analysis of gas chromatography-combustion-mass spectrometry and gas chromatography-flame ionization detection methods for the determination of fatty acid methyl esters (FAMEs) in biodiesel samples
• Identification and quantification of fatty acids in walnut and coconut oil samples by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) after their methyl esterification by BF₃-MeOH method
• Simultaneous determination of fatty acids in bovine colostrum samples by GC-FID after their derivatization to ester forms using an acidic catalyst boron trifluoride
