Abstract
AbstractCerebroside mixtures isolated from beef spinal cord lipids can be chromato‐graphically resolved into twelve or more components. The technique employed was multiple thin‐layer chromatography with a newly developed solvent. A fractionation of the cerebrosides could also be obtained by silicic acid column chromatography using chloroform‐methanol mixtures. The fractions were characterized (a) by thin‐layer chromatography; (b) by gas chromatography of the fatty acid methyl esters obtained after methanolysis of the cerebrosides. It could be shown that the chromatographic behaviour of cerebrosides is decisively influenced by the nature of their fatty acid component.
