Separation andCharacterization ofInositol Phospholipids fromthePulvini ofSamaneasaman 1

Tosupplement current thin-layer chromatographic methods for separation andquantitation ofplant phospholipids, analtemative method, high-performance liquid chromatography wasdeveloped.Themajorinositol-containing lipids fromthepulvini of Samanea samanMerr. wereidentified asphosphatidylinositol, phosphatidylinositol phosphate, andphosphafidylinositol bisphosphate basedoncomigration withauthentic standards on high-performance liquid chromatography andonthin-layer chromatography.
