ABSTRACT

High solids cabbage lipids were investigated. Crude lipids were extracted and separated by column chromatography into neutral lipids, glycolipids and phospholipids. Fatty acids were analyzed by gas-liquid chromatography. Consistent with other plant lipid patterns, palmitic, palmitoleic, stearic, oleic, linoleic, and linolenic acids constituted the major fatty acids. High solids cabbage cultivars were 1.8–2.0% higher in dry matter than the standard cultivars.
