A high-throughput method for fatty acid profiling using simultaneous microwave-assisted extraction and derivatization

In this application note, Milestone presents experimental data on the extraction and simultaneous derivatization of fatty acid methyl esters (FAMEs) in several food samples using the ETHOS^™ X with SR-15 eT rotor. The composition of fatty acids in food products is a crucial parameter for evaluating their quality. Microwave-assisted solvent extraction offers an efficient and competitive solution for sample preparation.
