Abstract
Glycolipids (0.25 and 0.26%) and phospholipids (0.10 and 0.11%) were isolated from the total lipids of 2 varieties (Indaf I and Hamsa) of finger millet seeds (Eleusine coracana). Two glyceroglycolipids and 4 glycerophospholipids were further isolated from the glycolipids and phospholipids. Monogalactosyl diglyceride (MGDG) and digalactosyl diglyceride (DGDG) were the major glycolipids whereas phosphatidylcholine and phosphatidylethanolamine were the major glycerophospholipids, comprising 57.0 and 60.7 mol% of the total phospholipids in Indaf I and 18.9 and 16.9% in Hamsa. Oleic, linoleic and palmitic acids totalled 94 to 97% in all compounds though the proportions varied. MGDG and DGDG from Indaf contained more palmitic acid (30.4 and 29.4%) than did those from Hamsa (25.6 and 24.8%). The ratio of unsaturated to saturated fatty acids was also different in the phospholipids in those varieties. The sugar component of MGDG and DGDG was D-galactose.
