Όνομα Συνεδρίου:6th Euro Fed Lipid Congress: Oils, Fats and Lipids in the 3rd Millennium
A method for separation and quantification of neutral lipid and phospholipid classes was
developed using Iatroscan analysis, which combines thin layer chromatography (TLC)
and flame ionisation detection (FID) techniques. Neutral lipid classes were developed
and separated in several solvent systems with hexane-diethyl ether-formic acid (H:D:F).
Phospholipid classes were developed and separated in several solvent systems with
chloroform-methanol-water (C:M:W), chloroform-methanol-water-formic acid (C:M:W:F)
and chloroform-methanol-water-ammonia (C:M:W:A). Finally, neutral lipid and
phospholipid classes were developed and separated by several multiple developments
using 2 or 3 different development solvent systems of decreasing polarity. The bath
temperature was 25oC. The measurement conditions were hydrogen flow-rate 160
mL/min, air flow-rate 2L/min and scan speed 30s/scan. Even a slight difference in
solvent proportion or composition of development solution influenced the chromatogram
pattern as well as the individual lipid classes’ fractionation. Thirteen lipid classes were
identified and quantified in samples of standard lipid mixtures and marine lipids using
the proposed development solvent systems. Iatroscan analysis is a novel technique that
is rapid, sensitive, easy to handle and exhibits a high reproducibility.
