Abstract
A novel direct method using (m‐trifluoromethylphenyl)trimethylammonium hydroxide (TFTMAH) has been developed for on‐line (trans)esterification of lipidic materials (drying oils, egg) prior to GC‐MS analysis. The method was first optimised by comparing three N‐methylammonium hydroxide reagents (TMAH, PhTMAH, TFTMAH) and triolein as a lipid standard. Secondly, the procedure was tested on a series of fresh and naturally aged (up to 40 years) (un)pigmented drying oils and egg yolk reference film standards. Thirdly, the method was applied to the analysis of a sample from an altar painting “Resurrection of Christ” by Francesco Solimena (1723) from the Chapel of Upper Belvedere in Vienna. The relative proportions of the fatty acids from the translucent size layer confirm the presence of partially degraded oil, probably pre‐polymerised walnut oil.

## Abstract A GC/MS procedure has been developed, optimized, and applied to characterization of oil binders in paintings. The procedure involves hydrolysis of lipids to fatty acids (FAs) and derivatization of FAs to fatty acid methyl esters (FAMEs) by a solution of sodium methanolate in methanol at
A novel chemical ionization/fast atom bombardment (CI/FAB) source was used to analyse alkenes by chemical ionization mass spectrometry (CI-MS) using copper ions as the ionizing agent. The Cu Y -CI mass spectra showed abundant pseudomolecular adduct ions [alkene-Cu] Y and characteristic fragment ions
The development of a method is described for the analysis of hydroxypipecolic acids in crudely purified plant extracts. All eight known naturally-occurring mono-and di-hydroxypipecolic acids could be resolved in a single analysis by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) of their trimethylsily
