Quantification of CDA was achieved by using structurally similar compound. Content of CDA is estimated by established standard curve and reported equation. Proposed NMR analysis provides a quantification of CDA as low as micro-gram scale. a r t i c l e i n f o a b s t r a c t Article history: In this work, 1H NMR is utilized for the quantitative analysis of a specific cyclic dimer fatty acid in a dimer Received 2 December 2014 acid mixture using the pseudo-standard material of mesitylene on the basis of its structural similarity.
