SUMMARY: A combination of chemical and chromatographic procedures demonstrated that 97% of total wheat germ lipids are nonpolar, while 3% are polar (glycolipids, phosphoipids and proteolipids). The fatty acid composition, in polar and nonpolar lipids, was determined: the former contain a higher percentage of octa-decatrienoic acid than the latter. Nonpolar lipids are tri, mono- and diglycerides and sterol esters. In addition to lecithin, phosphatidyl ethanolamine, phosphatidyl serine and their lyso derivatives, lipids contain unknown compounds tentatively identified as glycolipids or phytoglycolipids. Moreover a high content of compounds identified as phosphatidic acid or polyglycerophosphate derivatives has been observed.
