Fatty acids can be categorized into several groups according to the length of the chains: short-chain fatty acids (SCFA) with aliphatic tails of 2-6 carbons; medium-chain fatty acids (MCFA) with aliphatic tails of 6–12 carbons; long-chain fatty acids (LCFA) 13 to 21 carbons in aliphatic tails and Very long chain fatty acids (VLCFA) with aliphatic tails longer than 22 carbons.

Medium Chain and Long Chain Fatty Acids - Lipidomics|Creative Proteomics

Medium and long chain fatty acids have different effects on human health. Creative Proteomics has established a sensitive, reliable, and accurate GC-MS method for medium-chain and long-chain fatty acids targeted lipidomics.
