Egg Chemistry

[Ann Lucas]

Hello,
Does anyone have a listing of fatty acids, sterols, phospholipids, and ~glycerids found in eggs (whites and/or yolks)? The literature I have read usually deals with only a few specific compounds, versus the entire range. So I have a detailed outline, but just not the whole picture. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated, I am starting a new project using SPE and I want to make sure what I am looking for on the chromatograph - in case I need to tweak the separation or solvents.
You can reply here, or send me an email with any information you have.
Thank you,
Ann Lucas

This is an old article, but it gives a good idea of the lipid composition of the egg.

Hope this help,

Martin

might find some useful information/standards on the Avanti Polar Lipid Web site.

I saw something from them during a google search. I did not try to entire website. I had looked into Nu-check Prep and Supelco.
Thanks for the tip.
