Abstract In recent years, new different methods for the determination of fatty acid types (FAT) by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) have been developed. Although in general good results have been obtained, these methods employ long acquisition times and a wide variety of approaches and NMR parameters to resolve the FAT. For this reason, we have developed a NMR analysis optimization. This new method was used to evaluate the different 1H-NMR methodologies against gas chromatography–flame ionization detection (GCFID), considered as the reference method. We have applied our easy and quick methodology to the analysis of three different composition oils: sunflower, olive, and linseed oil. Using our optimized NMR methodology, it was possible to obtain in
