Abstract:

α-Linolenate was extracted with n-hexane from nuts, and methylified with 2 mol/L KOH-methnoal solution. Then content of α-methyl linolenate, which could be translated to the content of α-linolenate, was quantified with gas chromatography using HP-Wax column (30 m×0.25 mm, 0.5 μm). The retention time for α-methyl linolenate was 6.325 min. This method was appicable in a linear range of 0.02-10.00 mg/ml with the correlation coefficient at 0.99924 and the average recovery for α - linolenate at 95.4%- 102.3%.

Key words: &alpha, -linolenate, &alpha, -methyl linolenate, nuts, gas chromatography
