Abstract
The lipid classes, sterols and fatty acids of protein concentrates prepared from the leaves of 4 tropical plant spp. including cassava and sorghum X Sudan grass hybrid were studied. 75% of the green protein lipids were neutral lipids, 20-25% were glycolipids and <5% were phospholipids. Saponification of the total lipids produced approx. equal quantities of fatty acids and residual matter not extracted by hexane and a smaller quantity of non-saponifiable lipids. The lipid constituents were further analysed by thin-layer chromatography and GLC. The CP contents of dried leaves of the 4 spp. ranged from 10 to 30% of the DM content while the extraction efficiencies of the crude leaf protein concentrate fractions ranged from 26 to 59%. The true protein content was approx. 43-50% of the CP content of the concentrate
