Article: Quantitative Analysis of Dairy Phospholipids by ^sup 31^P NMR

Abstract

^sup 31^P NMR analysis of samples prepared in a sodium cholate detergent system was assessed as a method for the quantitative measurement of dairy phospholipids. Major phospholipid (PL) classes measured included: phosphatidylcholine (PC), phosphatidylethanolamine (PE), phosphatidylserine (PS), phosphatidylinositol (PI), sphingomyelin (SM) and dihydrosphingomyelin (DHSM). The ^sup 31^P NMR method was validated by comparison with a quantitative two-dimensional thin-layer chromatography (2D-TLC) technique. The 2D-TLC system was more sensitive, able to detect some minor compounds not observed by ^sup 31^P NMR. However, ^sup 31^P NMR is more suited to routine analysis, with sample ...
