Silver-ion normal-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) provides a superior separation selectivity for lipids differing in the number and position of double bonds in fatty acid chains including the resolution of triacylglycerol (TG) regioisomers under optimized conditions. Our silver-ion HPLC method is based on the coupling of three columns in the total length of 75 cm and a new mobile phase gradient consisting of hexane− ...
