Summary

The effects of mobile phase composition upon olefin group selectivity (the ratio of the retention factor of a n-alkane to 1-olefin of equal carbon number) has been examined for non-aqueous reversed-phase liquid chromatorphy. Under time-normalized conditions, large variations in olefin group selectivities were noted as the mobile phase constitutents were changes. However, methylene group selectivities were found to be insensitive to the nature of the mobile phase under these conditions. Mobile phases containing alcohols demonstrated low olefin group selectivities compared to those containing acetonitrile as weak solvent. The results of this study explain variations previously observed in the LC separation of olive oil triglycerides that differ in the number of methylene groups and double bonds.
