The phospholipids present in oils extracted from neat's foot and shin bone legs of cow, buffalo and sheep were identified. Lysolecithin, sphingomyelin, phosphatidylserine, lecithin, phosphatidylethanohmine and an unknown phospholipid were quantitatively determined by T.L.C. The total phospholipids of the oil samples are in the following order of decreased percentages:Lecithin and cephalins make more than half of the total phospholipids. Phospholipids were found to contain generally higher percentage saturated fatty acids than the corresponding oils. The neat's foot phospholipids from cow v. baladi, buffalo and sheep were found to contain higher percentage saturated fatty acids than the phospholipids from the corresponding shine bone. Oleic acid constitutes the major acid of the unsaturated fatty acids of all samples. Linoleic acid, the only polyenoic acid, was detected in the oil samples and not in the phospholipids isolated therefrom.Because phosphatides of animal origin are more plentiful than those from plant sources, most of the literature were primarily concerned on animal phospholipids. Phosphatides occur throughout the entire animal organism, where they comprise the bulk of the fatty substances of the brain and the blood and make a high percentage of the liver and the kidney lipids [I].Although bone-marrow contains a higher lipid percentage than any otherorgan, yet lipids of bone-marrow are worthy of far more study than has been given to them. Most of the work done on bone phospholipids dealt with the nature of phospholipids present, where it has been found that lecithin and cephalins make the bulk amount of the phospholipids [1-3]. Sphingolipids, cardiolipin, inositide, lysolecithin and phosphatidic acid have been also reported to be present in some bone lipids [2-61. No work has been published on the phospholipids of neat's foot oil. The aim of the present investigation is to separate and identify the nature of phospholipids present in oil extracted from neat's foot and shin bone legs of cow, buffalo and sheep. The quantitative amounts of the phospholipids and the fatty acid composition of the phospholipids and the total lipids are also reported.
