Detection of Fatty Acids in Plant Tissues

Fatty acids are long aliphatic hydrocarbon chains containing a carboxyl group at one end. Based on the lengths of carbon chains, fatty acids can be classified into three groups: short-chain fatty acids, medium-chain fatty acids, and long-chain fatty acids. Based on the difference between saturated and unsaturated hydrocarbon chains, fatty acids can be classified into three groups: saturated fatty acids, monounsaturated fatty acids, and polyunsaturated fatty acids. Fatty acids are not only required for growth, development, nutrient metabolism and adverse stress response of plant, but also have important medicinal value.

STEMart is able to efficiently and accurately detect the content of a wide range of fatty acids in plant samples with high-sensitivity and high-accuracy GC-MS method.
