Fast Determination of Short-Chain Fatty Acids and Glucose Simultaneously by Ultraviolet/Visible and Refraction Index Detectors via High-Performance Liquid Chromatography

A rapid analytical method for simultaneous quantification of glucose (GLC) and seven short-chain fatty acids (SCFA) was developed for detection of ruminal fermentation parameters. The formic acid (FA), lactic acid (LA), acetic acid (AA), propionic acid (PA), butyric acid (BA), isovaleric acid (IVA), valeric acid (VA), and glucose were identified and quantified by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) technique, using a reverse-phase...
