Lipids are essential components of all living cells. In an oenological context, the supply of unsaturated lipids in grape juice allows the yeasts to grow and ferment, despite very low levels of oxygen. The current study proposes a systematic optimization procedure for the analysis of fatty acids and sterols relevant to the grape fermentation process, including both extracellular and intracellular (i.e., yeast cells) lipids. Even though it was extensive, the sample preparation yielded reproducible results for all compounds of interest. The stability of the analyzed compounds was also tested to offer some implementation flexibility for the extensive procedure. The performance parameters (i.e., selectivity, linearity, limit of detection and quantitation, accuracy, and precision) indicated that the method was suitable for future practical implementation. The proof of concept also suggests that the list of compounds of interest can be expanded if additional peaks are identified. Given the large variation in concentrations, the dilution of the matrix needs to be carefully considered in order to ensure that the lipids of interest are still within the dynamic range and not below the limit of detection and/or quantification.
