Determination of Total Lipids as Fatty Acid Methyl Esters: Laboratory Analytical Procedure (LAP)
- National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL), Golden, CO (United States)
This Laboratory Analytical Procedure (LAP) covers the determination of total lipids expressed as fatty acid methyl esters (FAME). Results are reported as the percent FAME content based on the dry weight of the sample. The procedure is based on a whole biomass transesterification procedure of lipids to FAME, which eliminates the need for extraction and therefore is able to access all fatty acids in the biomass and represent an accurate reflection of the biofuels potential.
