Influence of the esterification method on the quantification of olive oil fatty acids

To analyze fatty acids by gas chromatography, it is necessary to apply esterification procedures to convert fatty acids into more volatile compounds, such as fatty acid methyl esters (FAME). Esterification methods are usually subdivided into two categories: acidic catalysis and basic catalysis. Due...
