Development and Validation of a Novel Free Fatty Acid Butyl Ester Gas Chromatography Method for the Determination of Free Fatty Acids in Dairy Products

Accurate quantification of free fatty acids in dairy products is important for both product quality control and legislative purposes. In this study, a novel fatty acid butyl ester method was developed, where extracted free fatty acids are converted to butyl esters prior to gas chromatography with flame ionization detection. The method was comprehensively validated to establish linearity (20-700 mg/L; R2 > 0.9964), limits of detection (5-8 mg/L), limits of quantification (15-20 mg/L), accuracy (1.6-5.4% relative error), interday precision (4.4-5.3% relative standard deviation), and intraday precision (0.9-5.6% relative standard deviation) for each individual free fatty acid. A total of 17 dairy samples were analyzed, covering diverse sample matrices, fat content, and degrees of lipolysis. The method was compared to direct on-column injection and fatty acid methyl ester methods and overcomes limitations associated with these methods, such as either column-phase absorption or deterioration, accurate quantification of short-chain free fatty acids, and underestimation of polyunsaturated free fatty acid.

PRODUCTION OF DETERGENT RANGE ALCOHOLS

This invention relates to a process for the production of a mixture of detergent-range alcohols having an average of between 8 and 20 carbon atoms per molecule. The process includes the steps of providing a hydrocarbon stream containing olefins and paraffins in which more than 5% by volume of olefin molecules in the hydrocarbon stream have a total number of carbon atoms which is different from the total number of carbon atoms of the most abundant two carbon numbers of olefins in the hydrocarbon stream; reacting the hydrocarbon stream with CO and an alcohol in the presence of a catalyst in a hydroesterification reaction to form a hydrocarbon stream containing esters and paraffins; separating esters from the hydrocarbon stream containing esters and paraffins; and subjecting the esters to a hydrogenation reaction to provide the mixed alcohol product.

Process for the production of esters

Carboxylic acid esters are produced by reacting an olefinic hydrocarbon with an ester of formic acid in the presence of both carbon monoxide and oxygen at a temperature of up to 200° and a pressure of up to 300 bar in the presence of water, typically in a
