Lipids of the Muscle of Tuna, Thynnus orientalis-III:Lecithins of the Dark-Colored and Ordinary Muscles

概要

論文の詳細を見る
Lecithins were extracted and purified from the dark-colored and ordinary muscles of a tuna, Thynnus orientalis. The mixed fatty acids, prepared from these lecithins by alkali-hydrolysis, were separated into three portions, solid, lower and higher-unsaturated acids, with a combination of lead salts-ethanol and lithium salts-acetone fractionations. Individual acids were identified with paper chromatography, saturated acids and hydrogenated polyethylenic acids as their 2, 4-dinitrophenylhydrazides, and mono and diethylenic acids as their mercuric acetate complexes. Spectrophotometry of the alkali-isomerized higher-unsaturated acids indicated the presence of conjugated di-to hexaene. The composition of these mixed fatty acids presented in Table 8 shows the component fatty acids of the lecithin from dark-colored muscle are more unsaturated than those from ordinary muscle. The presence of cephalins, acetalphospholipids and sphingomyelin was also shown in the ethanol extracts of these tissues.
