Current research line

Quantitative determination of the chemical composition of vegetable oils and animal fats using the high resolution Nuclear Magnetic Resonance technique.

  • Establishment of the acquisition parameters (scan number, pulse angle, relaxation time, acquisition time, among others) for the corresponding one-dimensional (1H and 13C quantitative NMR) and two-dimensional (COZY, HSQC, HMBC) experiments.
  • Study of the distribution of fatty acids in oil in the glyceric skeleton of oils and fats.
  • Determination of minor components that may influence the organoleptic properties of oils and fats, as well as their stability against oxidative degradation processes.
