Separation and Analysis of Monoacylglycerols

The work presented here is devoted to separation of free monoacylglycerols of fatty acids. Monoacylglycerols can be synthesized by both chemical and biological processes. They are typically used in the food, cosmetic and pharmaceutical industries as emulsifiers to help blend oily and aqueous ingredients.

Monoacylglycerols exist as two enantiomers and their achiral regioisomers. Owing to their structure, the separation and analysis of monoacylglycerols remain very challenging. However, a recent paper published by Patricia Garcia, et al. in the Journal of Separation Science reports on a successful separation of underivatized regioisomers and enantiomers of monoacylglycerols, using either a CHIRALPAK^®IC™ or CHIRALPAK^® IA™ column.
