  • as an internal standard solution to correct the transesterification efficiency during lipid analysis by gas chromatography-flame ionization detector (GC-FID)
  • as an internal standard in chloroform to dissolve total lipids obtained from fresh leaves of N. benthamiana for thin layer chromatography (TLC) analysis and to analyze their fatty acid content using GC
