[Free Gift] Technical Document on Quantitative Analysis of Trans Fatty Acid Content by Infrared Spectroscopy
Trans fatty acids are unsaturated fatty acids that contain double bonds in a trans configuration within their chemical structure. The double bonds in unsaturated fatty acids found in plant oils produced in nature typically exist in a cis configuration. However, in solid fat products such as margarine and shortening, trans isomers are generated during the necessary hydrogenation process, resulting in trans fatty acids being included as by-products. In Japan, while their use is not currently prohibited, many companies are announcing reductions in usage and self-regulation from the perspective of food safety, making the rapid quantification of trans fatty acid content increasingly essential. This document introduces the quantitative analysis of trans fatty acid content using infrared spectroscopy with ATR accessories.
