Abstract

High-resolution 13 C NMR spectroscopy has been used to analyze the positional distribution of fatty acids in model triacylglycerols. A novel method for quantitative determination of the positional distribution of unsaturated chains in triacylglycerols simultaneously with the ratio of saturated/unsaturated acyl chains has been proposed, utilizing the chemical shift differences of the aliphatic atoms C4, C5, and C6. The use of HSQC-TOCSY spectra allows unequivocal proof of the position of the unsaturated chain as well as complete assignment of the 13 C NMR signals in tripalmitin.
