Rapid Characterization of Fatty Acids in Oleaginous Microalgae by Near-Infrared Spectroscopy

The key properties of microalgal biodiesel are largely determined by the composition of its fatty acid methyl esters (FAMEs). The gas chromatography (GC) based techniques for fatty acid analysis involve energy-intensive and time-consuming procedures and thus are less suitable for high-throughput scr...
