GLC gives a very high resolution and is able to separate TAGs with saturated FAs that have poor solubility. GLC allows the analysis of very complex mixtures of TAGswith many different molecular weights
In this work, we describe a new analytical method to extract oil from seed samples in one step, analyze TAG composition by GLC, transmethylate the FAs in the sample later, and analyze the FAME composition by GLC.
This allows the analysis of a large number of very small samples like half-seeds.
