    Abstract:
    The determination of the triacylglycerol (TAG) profile in real world matrices is rather difficult as these compounds present a complex composition and are characterized by similar physico-chemical properties. This investigation is based on the high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) multidimensional determination of the TAG profile in terms of TAG species and positional isomers in a rice oil sample. The off-line bi-dimensional system was attained through the coupling of non-aqueous reversed-phase HPLC and silver ion (Ag)-HPLC. The primary column eluate was fractionated and the fractions of interest were then injected onto the secondary column, allowing the separation of several TAG positional isomers, unresolved in the first dimension. Peak assignment was carried out by combining retention data with atmospheric pressure chemical ionisation (APCI) MS spectra information. The fatty acid distribution along the glycerol backbone, determined by Ag-HPLC, was confirmed through diglyceride ion ratios derived from APCI-MS analysis. Method validation, where both precision and accuracy were measured, was carried out in preliminary applications on standard compounds. The analytical results obtained show that rice oil TAGs follow a distribution which can be considered typical for vegetable oils.
