Fatty acids are long aliphatic hydrocarbon chains containing a carboxyl group at one end. According to the different lengths of carbon chains, fatty acids can be divided into short-chain fatty acids, medium-chain fatty acids, and long-chain fatty acids. According to the difference between saturated and unsaturated hydrocarbon chains, fatty acids can be divided into saturated fatty acids, monounsaturated fatty acids, and polyunsaturated fatty acids. Fats rich in monounsaturated fatty acids and polyunsaturated fatty acids are liquid at room temperature, mostly vegetable oils, such as peanut oil, corn oil, soybean oil, nut oils, canola oil, etc. Saturated fatty acids, mainly composed of fat at room temperature, are solid, mostly animal fats, such as butter, mutton oil, lard, etc. Plant fatty acids have essential physiological functions, great food, and industrial value. Lifeasible provides professional plant fatty acid testing services for global customers, including various long-chain fatty acids and short-chain fatty acids.
As an expert in plant biochemistry analysis, Lifeasible provides comprehensive plant fatty acid testing solutions. We utilize GC-MS/MS to determine the content of 7 short-chain fatty acids and 37 medium and long-chain fatty acids in plant samples. The method is compatible and highly accurate. Detection sensitivity is up to ng/mL level.
Our laboratory has a mature and complete system and strict quality control standards. Our accurate test results can help you understand plant metabolism. With our innovative one-stop technical solutions, we strive to be the most professional technical partner for the majority of research practitioners.
