In this study, gas chromatography and high-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry （HPLC-MS/MS） were used to analyze the compo- sition and distribution of fatty acids in TAGs of different rapeseed oils. Our results show the content of oleic acid in higb-oleic-acid rapeseed oil to be about 80%. In terms of the number of acyl carbon atoms （CN）, TAGs with CN52-54 were most abundant, with a maximum concentration at CN54 （80%）. The main type of TAG was oleic-oleic-oleic （OOO）, accounting for 71.75%, while oleic-oleic-linoleic （OOL） accounted for ？.56%, oleic-oleic-linolenic （OOLn） accounted for 4.81%, and stearic-oleic-oleic （SO0） accounted for 4.74%. Oleic acid in high-oleic-acid rapeseed oil was distributed in the following order of preference： sn-2 〉 sn-1/3. In high-erucic-acid rapeseed oil, however, oleic acid was enriched at the sn-1/3. These data show that the content of oleic acid can be as high as about 80% in high-oleic-acid material. This finding suggests that high-oleic-acid rapeseed oil has high nutritional value.展开更多
