Through a very painstaking analytical process, which could by itself introduce errors. It requires proper interpretation of teh results too.

A more direct analysis method is required here.

Ana Maria Travalloni Louvisse

Dear Dr Lakshmanan The quantitative analysis method used is GC-FID (gas chromatography-flame ionisation detection). It is very expensive. I am studying the possibility of use fluorescence for MOAH - for palm oil contamination in the palm oil production process.
