Enantioselective analysis of chiral anteiso fatty acids in the polar and neutral lipids of food.

Lipids 45 , 357-365, (2010)

Anteiso fatty acids (aFA) are substituted with a methyl group on the antepenultimate carbon of the straight acyl chain. This feature leads to a stereogenic center. The 12-methyltetradecanoic acid (a15:0) and the 14-methylhexadecanoic acid (a17:0) are the most...

Quantification of branched chain fatty acids in polar and neutral lipids of cheese and fish samples.

J. Agric. Food Chem. 58 , 707-712, (2010)

Branched chain fatty acids (iso- and anteiso-fatty acids) are common minor compounds of the lipids found in dairy products and fish (<1-3%) and major fatty acids of Gram-positive bacteria. Their presence in food has been associated with bacterial sources. Bac...
