Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry-based analytical strategies for fatty acid analysis in biological samples

Analysis of fatty acid composition of Withania coagulans fruits by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry

Background and objectives: Withania coagulans Dunal (Solanaceae) fruits are recommended to treat asthma, dyspepsia, biliousness, flatulent colic, liver complaints, intestinal infections, strangury, wounds and as diuretic, emetic and sedative agent in Indian traditional system of medicine. The objective of this study was to describe the systematic fatty acid composition...

High sensitivity quantitative lipidomics analysis of fatty acids in biological samples by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry.

Historically considered to be simple membrane components serving as structural elements and energy storing entities, fatty acids are now increasingly recognized as potent signaling molecules involved in many metabolic processes. Quantitative determination of fatty acids and exploration of fatty acid profiles have become common place in lipid analysis. We present here a reliable and sensitive me...

Gas Chromatography- Mass Spectrometry Analysis and Antibacterial Activity of Fatty acid Mixture of Spirulina platensis

Spirulina platensis is a micro alga which contains many essential fatty acids, like gamma linolenic acid, stearic acid, myristic acid, linoleic acid, heptadecanoic acid etc. The composition of individual fatty acids had been found out through GC-MS analysis based on their retention time and molecular weight. Winterization procedure was used for the extraction of fatty acid mixture. Fatty acid m...

Discrimination of multi-origin chinese herbal medicines using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry-based fatty acid profiling.

Multi-origin Chinese herbal medicines, with herbs originating from more than one species of plants, is a common phenomenon but an important issue in Traditional Chinese Medicines (TCMs). In the present study, a gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS)-based fatty acid profiling approach to rapidly discriminate multi-origin Chinese medicines in terms of species and medicinal parts was propos...
