  • Title: ATR-Fourier transform mid-infrared spectroscopy for determination of trans fatty acids in ground cereal products without oil extraction.
    Author: Kim Y, Himmelsbach DS, Kays SE.
    Journal: J Agric Food Chem; 2007 May 30; 55(11):4327-33. PubMed ID: 17472389.
    Abstract:
    Fourier transform mid-infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy was investigated as a method of analysis for trans fatty acid content of cereal products without the need for prior oil extraction. Spectra were obtained, with an FT-IR spectrometer equipped with an attenuated total reflectance (ATR) device, of ground samples pressed onto the diamond ATR surface, and trans fatty acids were measured by a modification of AOAC Method 996.01. Partial least-squares (PLS) models were developed for the prediction of trans fatty acids in ground samples using several wavenumber selections on the basis of bands related to lipids. The models (n = 79) predicted trans fatty acids in ground samples with standard error of cross-validation (SECV) of 1.10-1.25 (range 0-12.4) % and R2 of 0.85-0.88 and in validation samples (n = 26) with standard error of performance (SEP) of 0.96-1.12 (range 0-12.2) % and r2 of 0.89-0.92, indicating sufficient accuracy for screening. Sample trans fatty acid % was predicted as accurately with the fingerprint region (1500-900 cm(-1)) as with the entire range (4000-650 cm(-1)) indicating, in concert with the regression coefficients, the importance of the isolated trans double bonds at 966 cm(-1) in development of the model. Data is also presented on prediction of trans fatty acids using the spectra of residual oil films on the ATR surface after removing the solid portion of the sample.
