In this research, fatty acid composition and trans fatty acids of 22 selected meat products produced by Turkish companies were analyzed by capillary gas liquid chromatography (GLC). Total fat contents of the meat products ranged from 11.60-42.50%. Salami had the lowest fat content 11.60% and sucuk (soudjuk) the highest 42.50%. Major fatty acids were C$_{16:0}$, C$_{18:0}$, trans C$_{18:1}$, cis C$_{18:1}$, and C$_{18:2}$ in the samples. Total unsaturated fatty acid contents have changed from 38.73 to 70.71% of total fatty acids, and sausage had the highest percentage among the samples. The majority of samples contain trans fatty acids and the level ranged from 2.28 to 7.95% of the total fatty acids. The highest amount of total trans fatty acids was determined in kavurma (Cavurmas) (7.95%), and total trans fatty acids of meat products such as pastrami contained more than 5% of the total fatty acids.

The cause and the degree of the cis to trans isomerization were investigated about soybean oil (SBO), corngerm oil (CGO), cottonseed oil (CSO), margarine (MG) and shortening (ST). All samples treated with various conditions were analyzed to determine physicochemical characteristics (AV, POV, IV, RI), fatty acid composition, total trans fatty acid content and change of trans fatty acid composition by GLC, IR and HPLC. The results were obtained as follows; 1. Physicochemical constants were changed with a gentle slope according to incubating period at 40${\pm}$2$^{\circ}C$ and physicochemical constants of margarine and shortening were changed, significiantly. 2. The saturation degree in the unsaturated fatty acid composition determined by GLC gradually were increased during incubation and heating periodically. For palmitic-and stearic acid content at the samples stored in the incubator, the saturation degrees were gradually increased. But for the case of heat treatment, they were increased more rapidly than other fatty acids. 3. Total trans fatty acid contents in each samples were determined by GLC, IR and HPLC, the amount of trans fatty acids were measured with discrepancy. It was caused by deviation of analytical instruments, methods and the kinds of samples. Trans fatty acids were measured more definitly in IR more than GLC and HPLC. On the other hand, total trans fatty acid contents in average levels for SBO, CGO, CSO, MG and ST stored for 35 days and heated for 24 hours were 1.3%, 1.1%, 0.9%, 22.6% and 13.8%, and 3.6%, 3.0%, 2.8%, 41.2% and 20.8%, respectively.

Breads and cookies made with conventional or low-trans fat(margarine and shortening) were analyzed by determining their trans fat content, textural properties and color values after production. The trans fatty acids content in conventional margarine was three times higher than that of low-trans margarine. Moreover, the content of trans fatty acids in the conventional shortening was 49 times higher than that of low-trans shortening. The trans fatty acid contents of cookies and breads made with low-trans fat, can be reduced more than 2 to 75 times compared to cookies and breads made with conventional fat. In the produced cookies and breads, the color values and textural properties(hardness, springiness, cohesiveness, gumminess and chewiness) did not differ significantly when the conventional fat or low-trans fat was used.

In this study, degree of rancidity and trans fatty acid formation were examined in fat and oils, including soybean oil (SB), canola oil (CA), corn germ oil (CO), olive oil (OL), palm oil (PO), and beef tallow (BT), during heating for 10-130 minutes at 160-200$^{\circ}C$. In order to determine the rancidity of the fat and oils, acid values (AV), iodine values (IV), viscosity, and color were measured. Changes in the amounts of fatty acids and the formation of trans fatty acids were measured using GC and HPLC. For all groups, AV increased, IV decreased, and coefficients of viscosity and color increased as the heating temperature and heating time increased, indicating there were positive correlations between the heating temperature and time and AV. In addition, all groups had similar amounts of trans fatty acids, with the exception of the beef tallow; however, its level only slightly increased with heating. The olive oil had the lowest trans fatty acid content and the lowest amount created by heating. The order of trans fatty acid amounts generated while heating was BT>PO>CO>CA>SB>OL. According to the study results, the deep frying temperature during cooking should be 160-180$^{\circ}C$ in order to reduce AV and the amount of trans fatty acids that are formed. In addition, it is better to remove beef tallow during cooking and avoid heating at high temperatures since it results in high levels of trans fatty acids. The correlation between the amount of trans fatty acids and AV was positive, while the correlation between the amount of trans fatty acids and IV was negative, indicating that AV and trans fatty acid levels increase while IV decreases as the deep frying temperature and time increase. From the results, it was found that reducing the deep frying temperature and time can lessen increases in AV and trans fatty acids, and decrease IV. Accordingly, to reduce AV and trans fatty acid formation, the ideal deep frying conditions would be to use olive oil or soybean oil rather than beef tallow or palm oil at a temperature of 160-180$^{\circ}C$.

This study was designed to determine total lipid and trans fatty acids(tFAs) content of 157 food items commonly consumed in the Korean diet and to prepare the database for the estimation of tFAs intake in Koreans. Total lipid and tFAs content was determined by Bligh and Dyer method and attenuated total reflection infrared spectroscopy, respectively. The content of tFAs in margarines ranged from 0.8% to 25.2%, depending on the manufacturers. In bakery products, cakes contained higher levels of tFAs(0.8~16.9%) than hamburgers(0.8~8.4%) and doughnuts(4.9~10%). The distribution of tFAs in crackers and cookies was wide(0.8~25%), whereas meat and fish products contained 0% to 8.9% of tFAs. Fried chickens had 0% to 14.6% of tFAs and French fries had 5.2% to 18.8% of tFAs. In noodles, nuts, chocolates and fermented fish sauces, tfAs were not detected.

Fatty acid patterns were determined for 11 and 19 brands of household margarines from the local markets in Korea in 1983 and 1984, respectively. Gas-liquid chromatographic analyses on OV-275 column showed that the average content of total trans fatty acids was 18% ranging from 6.2 to 35.5% for the margarines produced in 1983. The prototype of trans fatty acids was trans-octadecenoic acid. There was a small amount of c, t-or t, c-octadecadienoic, whereas there were practically no t, t-octadecadienoic acid. Trans fatty acids was increased in proportion to linoleic acid contents. For the margarines produced in 1984.. percentage of trans fatty acids tended to decrease, while that of linoleic acid was increased as compared with the corresponding values for the 1983 products. Thus, the P/S ratio was increased markedly in the soft type margarines produced in 1984. However, Korean margarines contained seemingly less linoleic acid than that contained in Japanese margarines.

This study was carried out to examine the proportion of fatty acids and contents of trans fatty acid in commercial processed foods in Jeon-Buk area. Contents of trans fatty acid in bakery products ranged from 0.2% to 1.0% per 100 g food. Especially garlic bread and pastry contained the highest amount. Popcorns contained trans fatty acid from 0.0% to 13.4%. Among them, instant popcorns for microwave contained the highest amount, while trans fatty acid was hardly detected in popcorns for theater. And trans fatty acid detected in popcorns was mostly in the form of 18 : 1 trans. The content of trans fatty acid in pizza was nearly 0.2%. Amounts of saturated fatty acid and unsaturated fatty acid were similar between each type of pizza and frozen pizza. Fritters such as fried chickens and vegetables contained trans fatty acid less than 0.2% per 100 g food.

The compositions of health functional food products (HFFP; 18 products) containing gamma linolenic acid (GLA; $C_{18:3}$, n-6) and omega-3 fatty acids (EPA and DHA) were investigated. The contents of index components (especially, GLA and omega-3) in HFFPs were monitored by GC-FID analysis. Among the GLA products (sample No. 1~8), the content of GLA in most samples (except sample No.6) ranged from 8.04 to 9.98 g/100 g. These results were suitable for the reference standard (more 7.0 g/100 g) of HFF. In the omega-3 products (sample No. 10 and 15) derived from harp seal oil (HSO), the total contents of EPA and DHA were 14.21-15.98 g/100 g, respectively. These values were suitable for the reference standard (more 12.0 g/100 g) of HFF. Besides, among the omega-3 products (sample No.9, 11~14, 16~18) derived from fish oil, the total content of EPA and DHA ranged from 24.11 to 31.20 g/100 g. These results were suitable for the reference standard (more 18.0 g/100 g) of HFF. In the result of TLC analysis, the HFFPs of 18 were mainly composed of triacylglycerols (TAGs). The content of trans fatty acid in 18 HFFPs was detected in less than 0.30 g/100 g. For the detection of trans fatty acid, $^1H$-NMR (600 MHz) can be used because chemical shift of trans fatty acid was observed at 5.3 ppm in this study.
