Summary A method of reserved-phase HPLC analysis for mixtures of triglycerides (TG's) that provides good resolution at acceptable analysis times for high-ECN TG's has been developed. An elution gradient of methyltert-butyl-ether (MTBE) in acetonitrile (ACN) was used with an ultraviolet detector operated at 215nm. The effect of the proportion of MTBE in the mobile phase, gradient time, temperature and sample solvent on TG retention and resolution was studied. Linear relationships were derived between the logarithm of the capacity factor (log k'), and the logarithm of selectivity (log α) and the above-mentioned chromatographic factors. The conditions selected were: an elution gradient of from 23 to 30% MTBE, an elution gradient time of 25 minutes, and a temperature of 30°C, which provided good resolution of soybean oil TG's in less than 30 minutes.
