General description

Methyl linolenate is a methyl ester of the essential omega-3 fatty acid, linolenic acid.

Application

This analytical standard can also be used as follows:

  • Comparative analysis of gas chromatography-combustion-mass spectrometry and gas chromatography-flame ionization detector methods for the determination of fatty acid methyl esters (FAMEs) in biodiesel samples
  • Gas chromatography-tandem differential mobility spectrometry (DMS) based separation and quantification of 16 methyl- and ethyl- fatty acid esters from biodiesel samples
  • Simultaneous determination of fatty acid methyl esters in commercial food oil samples by gas chromatography-vacuum ultraviolet (GC-VUV) spectroscopy
  • Measurement of fatty acid methyl ester composition of various edible oil samples by 1H nuclear magnetic resonance (1H NMR) spectroscopy combined with partial least squares (PLS) method
  • Analysis of coffee oil and residue obtained from roasted coffee beans to determine the composition of 11 fatty acids following their methyl esterification by gas chromatography coupled with a flame ionization detector (GC-FID)
  • Simultaneous determination of fatty acids in bovine colostrum samples by GC-FID after their derivatization to ester forms using an acidic catalyst boron trifluoride

We searched for mutagens that react with 2'-deoxyguanosine (dGuo) in model systems of lipid peroxidation. To autoxidation systems of methyl linoleate (model of omega-6 fat), methyl alpha-linolenate (MLN) (model of omega-3 fat), and commercial salad oil, dGuo was added. The

Carotenoid scavenging of free radicals has been investigated in peroxidizing methyl esters of unsaturated fatty acids using (i) metmyoglobin as a water-based free-radical initiator in a heterogeneous lipid/water system, and (ii) azo-bis-isobutyronitrile as a free-radical initiator in a homogeneous chloroform

Nine hydroperoxy and hydroperoxy-epidioxy oxidation products derived from either autoxidation (AO) or photosensitized oxidation (PO) of methyl linoleate (MLo) or methyl linolenate (MLn) were tested for mutagenic activity by the Salmonella typhimurium his+ reversion assay using strains TA100, TA98, TA102
