Interpretive Summary:

Technical Abstract: HPLC and HPLC-MS have become valuable tools to analyze the “functional lipids” in vegetable oils, nutraceuticals, functional foods, and conventional foods. These functional lipids include phytosterols, tocopherols, tocotrienols, and carotenoids. These analytical methods have provided a means to identify agricultural products and byproducts that are rich sources of each of these four types of phytonutrients.
