Ewe’s milk fat

They studied the effect of the mass detectors drift tube temperature on the low-molecular-mass TGs. Solutions of 10 mg/ml of tributyrin, tricaproin, tricaprylin, tricaprin, and trilaurin were injected twice at each of the following drift tube temperatures 20,25, 30,45, and 60°C. Five replications of the HPLC analysis were performed for one sample of ewe s milk fat to determine the reproducibility of the HPLC method. The TG composition was estimated in accordance with the method based on the calculation of the equivalent carbon numbers (ECNs) of the HPLC chromatographic peaks and in the molar composition in fatty acids, analyzed by GLC, collected at the HPLC chromatograph outlet. The HPLC fractions were collected every 40 s at the outlet of the column after 14 min there were no peaks before that time.
