A highly sensitive and accurate reference method for determination of docosenoic acid (mainly erucic acid, 22∶1n−9) in different rapeseed oils is described. A fixed amount of [1‐ 14 C]erucic acid methyl ester (about 1 μg) is added to a fixed amount of oil. After treatment with sodium methoxide/methanol reagent and extraction with hexane, the amount of unlabeled erucic acid is determined from the ratio between the recordings at m/e 320 and m/e 322 obtained after analysis with a combined gas chromatograph‐mass spectrometer equipped with an MID (multiple ion detector). The two ions used correspond to the M‐32 peak in the mass spectrum of unlabeled and [1‐ 14 C]labeled erucic acid methyl ester. The relative standard deviation of the method is about 1.8%. The method was compared with a gas chromatographic method for determination of erucic acid.
