[Use of pancreatic lipase for determination of the glyceride composition of rice lipids].

The triglyceride composition of rice lipids was investigated, using methods of thin-layer chromatography, enzymic hydrolysis by pancreatic lipase and gas-liquid chromatography. The major portion of triglycerides were tri- and di-unsaturated glycerides. The content of trisaturated glycerides was not more than 0.86%. The data obtained allow the conclusion that unsaturated acids occupy 2-positions in the triglyceride molecule of rice oil and oil of other plants.
