In the present paper, modern tools for the screening analysis of unknown seed oils have been reviewed. The known plant fatty acid structures have been divided into three groups (usual, unusual non-oxygenated, unusual oxygenated fatty acids) and examples for each class are presented. Moreover, the importance of chemotaxonomy for the screening analysis of some lipid components is discussed. The main part of the work is focussed on various aspects of preliminary seed oil analyses for the detection of unusual fatty acids and lipid classes and the analysis of fatty acid derivatives by gas chromatography and gas chromatography/mass spectrometry. Furthermore, some useful methods to obtain rapid information on the configuration of double bonds are cited. The paper concludes with a scheme for the detection of unusual fatty acids and lipid classes in seed oils.
