Several analytical
routes can be taken to characterize and analyze
the whole phospholipid pool in a lipid extract.
The choice depends on the information needed.
The lipidologist may ask ...
How visualize the phospholipid components on a TLC ?
What is the amount of phospholipids contained in this
sample ?
What is the amount of plasmalogens in this sample ?
What is the fatty acid composition of the purified
phospholipids ?
