Abstract: With saponification and the improved urea inclusion method,the content of polyunsaturated fatty acid(PUFA),especially has been enriched by γ-linolenic acid.An AgNO3-Thin-Layer Chromatography(AgNO3-TLC)method for the isolation of γ-linolenic acid in the content of PRFA was reported and the conditions were:the solvent systems of benzene-methanol-glacial acetic acid was 9+0 4+0 4respecfireh the color developmint reagent was ethanol solusion containing 10%(W/V)molybdophosphoric acid.High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) was used to determine the γ-linolenic acid.The sample was analyzed on a C18 column with acetonitrile and water used as gradient elution and assayed by 242nm UV detector.γ-Linolenic acid was determined well.
