Gas chromatographic separation of wax esters based on the degree of unsaturation

Abstract The wax esters of sperm whale head oil have been characterized by gas‐liquid chromatography on an APOLAR 10C column according to their carbon number and number of double bonds. The novel technique permits the direct quantitative analysis of saturated and unsaturated wax esters.
