Application of UV-induced ozonolysis for FA C=C isomer analysis. (a) Negative ion mode MS spectrum of ozonolysis of 1:1 mixture of oleic acid (FA 18:1(9Z)) and cis-vaccenic acid (FA 18:1 (11Z)). (b) A plot of ratios of aldehyde products of vaccenic/oleic acid vs. their molar concentration ratios (total of 10 μM). c) Negative ion mode ozonolysis MS spectrum of a mixture of two CLA isomers, FA 18:2(9Z, 11E) and FA 18:2(10E, 12Z) ([M-H]−, m/z 279.5).
