| Abstract: | This review gives quantitative results of the separation of individual classes of polar glycerolipids of natural and synthetic
origin into their individual species. Universal quantitative criteria calculated from the fatty-acid composition of the species
obtained or of their mixtures are proposed for determining the degree of reliability of these results. The fractionation of
the initial acyl-containing glycerolipids, their N- and O-derivatives with high hydrophobicity, the products of the enzymatic
hydrolysis of the native lipids (diacylglycerols, phosphatidic acids) and also the lipophilic O-derivatives of these products
is considered. For all these compounds, the results of their separation by the methods of TLC and HPLC both in the form of
the adsorption chromatography of the coordination complexes with silver and also in the form of reversed-phase chromatography
are discussed.
