In this research the lipid fraction of two strains of Streptococcus thermophilus was studied. Lipids were extracted by applying Folch method and fractioned by thin layer chromatography (TLC). Fatty acid composition was determined both before TLC, on the total fat extracted, and after TLC on diacylglycerol and apolar fractions. Gas chromatographic analysis was performed by using both flame ioniz...

Several rapid methods for compositional analysis of heavy oils by thin layer chromatography with flame ionization detection (FID-TLC) were investigated. Separating into four fractions, Saturates, Aromatics, Resins, and Asphalten, SARA analysis of heavy oils could be accurately performed by three stage development using n-hexane, toluene, and tetrahydrofuran. Detailed hydrocarbon type analysis o...

Given that fermented dairy products exhibit high bioactivities against cardiovascular diseases (CVDs), the anti-thrombotic properties, fatty acid profiles and sensory properties of cow, goat and ewe derived Greek yogurts have been assessed and compared. The total lipids (TL), total polar lipids (TPL), total neutral lipids (TNL) were obtained and the polar lipid fractions were further separated ...

Medicines which contain ephedrine are currently the object of great interest among Polish drug addicts. One of these medicines is the antiasthmatic drug Proasthmin. The oxidation product of ephedrine, its component is ephedrone. The aim of this study was to elaborate the best conditions for the determination of ephedrone and the other components of Proasthmin in products manufactured and used b...
