Series of triglycerides, which are esters derived from glycerol and three fatty acids.
Tricaprylin , Tricaprin , Trimyristin , Trilaurin , Tripalmitin can be retained, and analyzed using a Lipak mixed-mode stationary phase column. The analysis utilizes an gradient method with a mobile phase consisting of methanol (MeOH), ethanol (EtOH), ammonium formate and formic acid as a buffer. Detection is achieved using LC MS.
