Elution power of a solvent as a criterion of relative lipid polarity

Аннотация

New parameters are proposed that allow reliable calculation of fixed hydrophilicity values for different classes of lipids over the widest possible range, based on the elution power of solvents and using two compounds at the boundaries of the range as standards. The values of relative hydrophilicity are calculated from the values of relative chromatographic mobility of these types of compounds. It is established that the levels of hydrophilicity of different classes of lipids relative to the selected hexadecane–glycerol pair do not depend on the composition of the different mobile phases used in either planar or column types of liquid chromatography for the separation of complex lipid mixtures.
