β¦ Synopsis
Seventeen commercial samples of German margarines were analyzed by gas-liquid chromatography for the trans fatty acid (TFA) content including the following mixture of geometrical and positional isomers: and trans-isomers. Conventional vegetable and fat reduced margarines were found to contain 0.3-4.1% TFA, whereas diet margarines contained 0.2-0.5% TFA. Highest amounts of TFA were found in sunflower margarines (3.3-4.9% TFA). A significant decrease of the TFA amounts in German margarines since 1994 could be observed.

Die trans-Fettsaureanalyse beinhaltete folgende geometrische und positionsisomere Fettsauren

## Abstract Adequate analytical tools are required for labelling food products for __trans__ fatty acid (TFA) contents. The choice of the fatty acid (FA) derivatisation is a crucial step in obtaining good results, in particular with shortβchain and conjugated FA. Several gas chromatographic and inf
## Abstract As a preliminary for recommended __trans__ fatty acid (TFA) consumption levels as regards health, it was essential to estimate the TFA intake level. Recent results of TFA content of foods were collected, and the total TFA, 18:1 TFA, 18:2 TFA and total conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) comp
