Use of the Vaskovsky-Svetashev reagent for complex detection of phospholipids and in their preparative separation by the TLC method

It has been established that the Vaskovsky-Svetashev reagent has no influence on the general and positional composition of the fatty acids of phospholipids. For the qualitative identification of PLs on one plate it is possible to use successively iodine, ninhdrin, the Dragendorff reagent, the Vaskovsky-Svetashev reagent, 50% H₂SO₄, and the Malachite Green reagent.Institute of the Chemistry of Plant Substances, Academy of Sciences of the Uzbek SSR, Tashkent.
