Description

This book presents a practical guide to the laboratory techniques commonly used in the analysis of lipids. It covers methods of lipid extraction in solvent and solid phase systems, as well as methods of derivation formation needed for a number of analytical procedures such as gas liquid chromatography and mass spectrometry. The book also describes in practical detail the techniques for complete analysis of both isolated lipids and lipid mixtures. These include GLC, HPLC, TLC and NMR. These molecules are found in every living system, and are of interest to the chemical, biotechnological and pharmaceutical industries in addition to academic research workers.Table of ContentPart 1 Introduction: fatty acids; other monofunctional compounds; lipids; acylglycerols (glycerides); phospholipids; waxes; ether lipids; glycosyldiacylglycerols; sterol esters; sphingolipids; Frank D.
