“…Densitometric quantification was applied to the following lipid determinations, carried out on unmodified silica gel TLC or HPTLC layers unless otherwise noted: triglyceride composition of tomato, pepper, and grape seed oils by argentation TLC ( 027); neutral lipids in B. glabrata snails fed yolk-lettuce versus lettuce-Tetramin diets ( 028) and in two strains of Helisoma trivolvis snails ( 029) on preadsorbent plates with detection by spraying with PMA reagent; triglycerides in model mixtures by argentation and RP-TLC with visualization by charring and scanning in transmittance and reflection modes ( 030); neutral and polar lipids in berries using petroleum ether-diethyl ether-acetic acid (90:10:1) mobile phase (031); lipids in different layers of porcine epidermis and oral epithelium ( 032) and unsaturated fatty acids by argentation TLC ( 033) with detection by charring; canine sebaceous lipids using automated sample application, triple development with three different solvents, and visualization by sulfuric acid charring (034); lipids from partially hydrolyzed beef tallow and fungal mycelia with detection of zones by immersion of the developed plate in sulfuric acid and heating at 110 °C to induce fluorescence (035); amniotic fluid lipids using automated sample application, double development with chloroform-ethanol-triethylamine-water (15:17:15:4) followed by hexane-diethyl ether (10:1), and detection with copper sulfate-phosphoric acid reagent (036); major phospholipid classes in biological materials at 100-ng levels by use of chloroform-methanol-ethyl acetate-40% methylamine (2:2:2:1) mobile phase and cupric sulfatephosphoric acid detection reagent (037); complex mixtures of phospholipid classes from cell membranes using 2-D TLC and scanning laser densitometry (038); phospholipids in liposomes using cupric sulfate-phosphoric acid reagent ( 039); and phospholipids with different fatty acid compositions from a variety of samples using Dittmer-Lester visualization reagent, which reacts with phosphate groups in the compounds (040). separation and characterization of lipid classes by Iatroscan TLC-FID, and it was found that alumina was superior for low concentrations of neutral lipids and silica gel for polar lipids (041).…”
