Studies on the Lipid Components of Ginkgo Nut

은행종실(銀杏種實)의 지질성분(脂質成分)에 관한 연구(硏究)

Lipids, extracted with chloroform-methanol (2:1 by vol.) and purified, from nut and leaf of Ginkgo biloba were identified and quantitatived by column, thin layer and gas liquid chromatography. The results were summarized as follow: 1) The total content of purified lipids in the nut and leaf on the fresh weight basis were 1.32% and 2.24%, respectively. 2) The lipid fractions in the nut obtained by silicic acid colum chromatography were found to be composed of about 89% neutral lipids and about 10% compound lipids, and in the leaf were found to be composed of about 28% neutral lipids and about 72% compound lipids. 3) Among the neutral lipid fractions, triglycerides (86.2%) were the major component in the nut, but esterified sterols (53.3%) were the major component in the leaf. 4) The main fatty acids of the total lipids were oleic(37.5%) and linoleic acid(44.5%) in the nut, but linolenic(45.2%) and palmitic acid (25.1%) were main fatty acids in the leaf. The patterns of fatty acid composition of the neutral lipid fractions in the nut and leaf were found to be similar, and oleic, linoleic and palmitic acid were the predominant. A large amount of oleic and linoleic acid in the glycolipid fractions was found in the nut compared with those in the leaf, but linolenic acid content in the leaf was significantly higher than in the nut. And patterns of fatty acid composition of the phospholipid fractions in the nut and leaf were found to be similar to that of glycolipid fractions.

은행의 종실 및 잎중에서 추출 정제한 유지에 대한 지방질의 구성 및 지방산 조성을 분석한 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 1) 신선한 종실 및 잎중의 정제한 총지방질의 함량은 각각 1.32% 및 2.24%였다. 2) 종실중의 총지방질중에는 중성지질이 약 89%, 복합지질이 약 10% 함유되어 있는데 반하여 잎중에는 중성지질이 약 28%, 복합지질이 약 72% 함유되어 있었다. 3) 종실중의 중성지질의 구성분은 다른 식물성 유지와 같이 triglyceride가 주성분으로 약 86%함유되어 있었으며, esterified sterol이 약 9%로 그 다음으로 많았다. 그러나 잎중에는 esterified sterol이 약 53%로 가장 많았고 triglyceride는 약 18%에 불과하였다. 4) 종실중의 총지방질의 주요한 구성지방산은 oleic acid(37.5%) 및 linolenic aicd(44.5%)이고, 잎의 주요 지방산은 linoleic acid(45.2%) 및 palmitic acid(25.1%)였다. 또 종실과 잎중의 중성지질을 구성하는 지방산 조성은 서로 비슷하고, oleic, linoleic 및 palmitic acid가 주요 지방산이었다. 그리고 당지질을 구성하는 지방산조성은 종실에는 oleic 및 linoleic acid의 함량이 잎보다 많은데 비하여 linolenic acid의 함량은 잎이 종실보다 훨씬 많았다. 인지질을 구성하는 지방산조성은 종실과 잎이 모두 당지질과 비슷한 경향이었다.
