Advances in silver ion chromatography for the analysis of fatty acids and triacylglycerols-2001 to 2011

Abstract

An effort is made to critically present the achievements in silver ion chromatography during the last decade. Novelties in columns, mobile-phase compositions and detectors are described. Recent applications of silver ion chromatography in the analysis of fatty acids and triacylglycerols are presented while stressing novel analytical strategies or new objects. The tendencies in the application of the method in complementary ways with reversed-phase chromatography, chiral chromatography and, especially, mass detection are outlined. © 2012 The Japan Society for Analytical Chemistry.
