Fatty acid methyl esters (FAMEs), which are commonly used to characterize lipids, have several limitations to conclude on many structures. 3-Pyridylcarbinol esters (3-PCE) are used to characterize fatty acid structures [1], in particular, to identify ring and double bond positions on the carbon chain. Chromatographic separation of these esters is complex due to their polarity and high boiling points. In this study, we used a column with high resolutive power based on ionic liquids to increase the separation quality in gas chromatography (GC). In addition, we used a high-resolution detector (Orbitrap) to limit non-specific signals and improve the detection limits. This detector could be used with a mass filter at 5 ppm for the rapid determination of 3-PCE from its characteristic ions (m/z = 108.0441 and 92.0495). This filter allowed the identification of derivative fatty acids with good sensibility. Thus, it was possible to characterize 3-PCE by measuring the exact fragment masses to confirm structures such as C19:2n12cycloΔ9.
