| Application: | This analytical standard can also be used as follows: • Gas chromatography-tandem differential mobility spectrometry (DMS) based separation and quantification of 16 methyl- and ethyl- fatty acid esters from biodiesel samples • Development and validation of a gas chromatography-flame ionization (GC-FID) method to determine fatty acid methyl esters (FAMEs) in beer wort samples following their solid phase extraction and BF3 based methylation • Multi-residue analysis of 76 volatile compounds from jujube extract samples by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) after their extraction by steam distillation combined with drop-by-drop extraction • Comparative analysis of gas chromatography-combustion • Identification and quantification of fatty acids in walnut and coconut oil samples by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) after their methyl esterification by BF3-MeOH method • Simultaneous determination of fatty acids in bovine colostrum samples by GC-FID after their derivatization to ester forms using an acidic catalyst boron trifluoride |
| General description: | Methyl decanoate, also known as methyl caprate, is a decanoate ester and belongs to the group of fatty acid methyl esters (FAMEs). It is naturally found in Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Astragalus mongholicus, Achillea millefolium, and others. |
