The ozonolysis of unsaturated lipids is a process that has been used to generate aldehydes, acids, alcohols, and other biobased chemical intermediates. Reported here is a method that can be used to measure the formation of nonanal and oleic acid during the ozonolysis of unsaturated vegetable oil fatty acids or their methyl esters to indicate the extent of the ozonolysis reaction. Derivatization was performed using boron trifluoride in methanol solution to transform nonanal and oleic acid into nonanal dimethyl acetal and oleic acid methyl ester, respectively. Undecanal and 10-heptadecenoic acid were used as internal standards and separation was performed using gas chromatography coupled with a flame ionization detector. The method was validated by performing a standard addition procedure in which nonanal or oleic acid standards were spiked into samples collected during the ozonolysis of oleic acid or canola oil fatty acid methyl ester (FAME). Linear regression results indicated that the measured nonanal and oleic acid are in good agreement with the actual amounts of nonanal and oleic acid added to the sample with at least 98 % recovery. The application of the method was demonstrated by the successful measurement of nonanal and oleic acid formed throughout the ozonolysis process for high oleic canola oil FAME.

Provided are efficient, cost-effective and water tolerant methods (e.g., single-vial methods) for preparing fatty acid esters from organic matter, comprising: obtaining organic matter comprising at least one fat substituent, contacting the organic matter in a reaction mixture with a basic solution under conditions suitable to provide for hydrolytic release of monomeric fatty acids from the at least one fat substituent to provide a base-treated reaction mixture, and esterifying the monomeric fatty acids of the base-treated reaction mixture by acidification of the reaction mixture and treating in the presence of an organic alcohol to provide fatty acid esters. The methods optionally further comprise, prior to esterifying, neutralizing the base-treated reaction mixture to provide for neutralized fatty acids, separating the neutralized fatty acids from the neutralized reaction mixture, and dissolving the separated fatty acids in the esterification reaction mixture. Also provided are related methods and kits for fat analysis.
