NMR
The Authors: Frank Gunstone and Gerhard Knothe
Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy is an extremely important technique for structural analysis and quantification of fatty acids and their derivatives.
Here the subject is discussed in terms of 1H-NMR spectroscopy of fatty acids and their derivatives by Gerhard Knothe, and of 13C-NMR chemical shifts for fatty acids and their derivatives by Frank Gunstone. The topics are divided into discrete sections for ease of consultation.
These documents contain many numbers and though every attempt has been made to transfer them correctly from their sources, there may be some errors. Readers are invited to report these so that corrections can be made. We would also like to be told about citations that have been overlooked.
