| Test Item | Common Testing Methods | Method Overview |
|---|---|---|
| Content Determination | Gas Chromatography (GC) | The sample is derivatized into methyl esters and then injected. Separation is performed using a capillary column, with a hydrogen flame ionization detector (FID) for detection. Quantification is achieved using external or internal standard methods for AA content. Suitable for high-purity fatty acid analysis. |
| Content Determination | High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) | A reversed-phase C18 chromatographic column is used, with a UV detector (often requiring derivatization to enhance response). It is suitable for quantifying AA after non-derivatization or fluorescent labeling, offering high sensitivity. |
| Unsaturation and cis-trans Isomerism | UV-Visible Spectrophotometry (UV-Vis) | Utilizes the characteristic absorption peaks of AA in the 200–280 nm range (conjugated diene structure) to assess unsaturation levels and possible oxidation or isomerization. Often used for preliminary screening. |
| Purity Analysis | Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS) | Combines the separation capability of GC with the qualitative ability of MS, enabling accurate identification of AA and its impurities (e.g., other fatty acids, oxidation products), used for high-precision purity evaluation and impurity identification. |
| Oxidation Level | Peroxide Value (PV) Determination | Measures the content of hydroperoxides in the sample using iodometric titration, reflecting the initial degree of oxidation of AA. It is an important indicator for stability assessment. |
| Oxidation Degradation Products | High-Performance Liquid Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (HPLC-MS) | Used to detect oxidized compounds such as hydroxy, carbonyl compounds (e.g., 4-HNE, malondialdehyde) generated from AA oxidation. Offers high sensitivity and specificity, suitable for trace-level oxidation product analysis. |
| Free Fatty Acids | Acid Value Determination | Determines the amount of potassium hydroxide (in mg) required to neutralize 1g of the sample, reflecting free AA content. Used to evaluate degradation during hydrolysis or storage. |
| Heavy Metal Residues | Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS) | Detected heavy metal elements such as lead, cadmium, mercury, and arsenic in the sample, ensuring compliance with pharmacopoeia or food safety standards. |
| Solvent Residues | Headspace Gas Chromatography (HS-GC) | Used to detect organic solvent residues (e.g., n-hexane, ethanol) used during production, ensuring product safety. |
| Microbial Limit | Microbial Limit Test | Conducts tests for aerobic bacteria, mold, yeast, and control bacteria (e.g., E. coli, Salmonella) according to pharmacopoeia or food regulations, ensuring microbial safety of the product. |
