Abstract:

Short chain fatty acids (SCFAs) refer to a class of saturated fatty acids with less than 6 carbon atoms on the carbon chain, also known as volatile fatty acids. SCFAs not only regulate lipid metabolism and reduce the risk of obesity, but also closely related to the physicochemical properties and nutritional functions of milk and dairy products. In this paper, the pretreatment technology, instrumental detection technology and conventional quantitative methods for the analysis of SCFAs are comprehensively reviewed, so as to provide a theoretical reference for the establishment of detection methods for SCFAs.

Key words: short-chain fatty acids, pre-treatment, detection methods, quantitative methods
