Applications of Moving-Wire Detectors for the Liquid Chromatography of Fats and Fatty Acid Derived Oleochemicals

Abstract

Published applications of moving-wire detectors and other transport flame ionization detectors for the liquid chromatography of fats and oleochemicals are briefly reviewed. The usefulness of this detector is illustrated by a number of examples taken from our own work at the Unilever Forschungsgesellschaft Hamburg. The chromatograms shown were chosen in such a way as to give an idea of how broad a range of applications may be covered by this approach.
