Enantiomeric Separation of Triacylglycerols Consisting of Three Different Fatty Acyls and Their Chiral Chromatographic Elution Behavior.

ABSTRACT: Chromatographic separation of triacylglycerol (TG) enantiomers is a highly challenging task of analytical chemistry because of the similar physicochemical properties. The analysis of chiral TGs is crucial for improving the knowledge of lipid biochemistry and for understanding the nutritional properties of fats and oils. Thus, this study aimed to systematically investigate the chiral resolution of TGs consisting of three different fatty acyls (FAs). Thirty-three asymmetric TG enantiopairs, including 49 synthesized enantiopure TGs and racemic TGs, were analyzed with a recycling chiral HPLC system. Twenty-six enantiopairs were successfully separated. Overall, having both unsaturated and saturated FAs in the outer positions or a difference in carbon chain length between two saturated FAs at th
