Abstract
One hundred UHT milks (52 conventional/ 48 organic) where analyzed by chromatographic methods coupled to mass spectrometry. Several oxylipins allowed to distinguish between organic and conventional origin. Arachidonic and linoleic acid derived do not correlate with their fatty acid precursors; therefore, these oxylipins could be promising as not only diet-dependent biomarkers but also for organic milk assessment.
