This article describes a method for analyzing the concentration of FAME and TG in biodiesel fuel using the Agilent 1200 Series HPLC system. Biodiesel is a motor or heating fuel produced from renewable vegetable oils or animal fats. It is produced by reacting vegetable oil with methanol in the presence of a catalyst, resulting in a mixture of fatty acid methyl esters (FAME) and glycerin. After removing glycerin and other contaminants, the remaining FAME mixture is pure biodiesel. Depending on the oil source, a typical biodiesel contains FAME mixtures with both saturated and unsaturated carbon chains from C8 to C24. This application note demonstrates an exemplary analysis of the concentration of FAME and triglycerides (TG) in biodiesel fuel (diesel oil).
