where

im’ : is the mass fraction of FAME i in the calibration standard solution (5.19 or 5.20)

OA’ : is the peak area of C11:0 in the calibration standard solution chromatogram

Om’ : in the mass of C11:0 in the calibration standard solution (5.19 or 5.20)

iA’ : is peak area of FAME i in the calibration standard solution chromatogram

The variation between 3 injections is optimal when coefficients of variation are less than 2.

NOTE

The response factors calculated for C18:2 n-6 could be applied for C-18:2 CLA and that calculated for C18:3 n-3

cis could be applied for C18:3 trans isomers.

10.1.2 Fatty acids on the product

Calculate the mass fraction of the individual components expressed in gFA i

NOTE 1

The response factors RF i

for C18:2 n-6 cis can be used for C18:2 CLA and the response factor RF i

for C18:3 n-3

cis can be used for C18:3 trans isomers.

NOTE 2 In case of fatty acids analysis carried out on fat extracted from foods, the mass of test portion “m” corresponds to fat and not to the product. Consequently fatty acids results are expressed in gFA/100g fat and not in gFA/100g product with this equation. Results obtained in gFA/100g fat could be then converted into gFA/100g product with the fat extraction value determined with an appropriate validated extraction method. The declared fat value should not be used for the expression of fatty acids on finished products..

10.1.3 Fatty acids on the total fat

Calculate the mass fraction of the individual components expressed in gFA i

/100g fat in test sample by using the

following equation:
