Abstract

The Kovάts retention indices of normal paraffins, fatty acid methyl esters (FAMEs), and fatty alcohols separated on a 15 m × 0.25-mm i.d. OV-101 capillary column are calculated directly from their retention data. Also, the described equations are used to convert the equivalent chain length value of FAMEs to retention indices or vice versa. All the calculated retention indices are in good agreement with those reported in the literature.
