Chemical Structures Analysis of Marine Unsaturated Fatty Acid

Marine ecosystems are an important source of compounds with interesting biological activities that can confer economic or industrial value. Marine-derived biosurfactants are produced by non-pathogenic organisms, which makes their potential for development in commercial products attractive. Furthermore, biosurfactants produced by marine bacteria may exhibit excellent activity under extreme conditions (temperature, pH and salinity). Biosurfactants produced by different microorganisms exhibit a vast spectrum of diverse chemical structures. The amphiphilic nature of biosurfactants is typically formed by hydrophobic and hydrophilic components, and the hydrophobic moieties typically includes saturated or unsaturated fatty acids, hydroxy fatty acids, or fatty alcohols with chain lengths between 8 and 18 carbon atoms. The hydrophilic component consists of small hydroxyl, phosphate or carboxyl groups, or consists of carbohydrates (such as monosaccharides, oligosaccharides or polysaccharides) or (poly)peptide moieties. Biosurfactants are further classified according to their molecular structure, such as glycolipids, lipopeptides, phospholipids, lipoproteins, fatty acids and polymeric biosurfactants.

Our Techniques

• Adsorption Chromatography
  HPLC on silica columns can be used to analyze or separate unsaturated fatty acids with polar functional groups, especially oxygen-containing moieties such as hydroperoxides.
• Chiral Chromatography
  Unsaturated fatty acids containing enantiomeric functional groups, especially hydroperoxy or hydroxyl groups, can be separated on a variety of commercial chiral stationary phases.
• Silver-Ion Chromatography
  We routinely use this technique to simplify complex mixtures of unsaturated fatty acids for easier confirmation of unsaturated fatty acid identity by GC-MS.
• Reversed-Phase Chromatography
  In reversed-phase HPLC, fatty acids are separated by chain length and unsaturation.
