Identification of conjugated linoleic acids in hydrogenated soybean oil by silver ion-impregnated HPLC and gas chromatography-ion impacted mass spectrometry of their 4,4-dimethyloxazoline derivatives.
Hydrogenated soybean oil was obtained after 10 min of hydrogenation with 0.5% selective type Ni catalyst at 230 degrees C, a hydrogenation pressure of 0.049 MPa, and an agitation rate of 300 rpm. The conjugated linoleic acid isomers in the hydrogenated soybean oil were isolated by using a silver ion-impregnated HPLC. Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry of 4,4-dimethyloxazoline (DMOX) derivatives of the isolated conjugated linoleic acid isomers were carried out for the identification of their chemical structures. By interpreting the mass spectra of the DMOX derivatives of conjugated linoleic acid isomers isolated by silver ion-impregnated HPLC, 20 different conjugated linoleic acid isomers present in hydrogenated soybean oil were identified. This is the first report for the mass spectrometric identification of the conjugated linoleic acid isomers present in hydrogenated vegetable oil.
