Phospholipids of the seed kernel of sunflowers

Conclusions The qualitative and quantitative composition of the phospholipid complex of the kernels of seeds of the oil-richHelianthus annuus and of the substances associated with them have been investigated by chromatography in a thin layer of silica gel.The phospholipids consist of four groups of substances: phosphatidylcholines (51.3%), phosphatidylethanolamines (22.6%), phosphatidylinositols (21.8%), and phosphatidic acids (4.3%).The substances associated with the phospholipid complex are cerebrosides and glycolipids, forming two groups in each case.Khimiya Prirodnykh Soedinenii, Vol. 6, No. 3, pp. 292–296, 1970
