Characterization of ether-linked phosphatidylcholine from boiled ark shell (Scapharca subcrenata) lipids using different extraction and recovery solvent systems
摘要
Crude lipids from boiled ark shell (Scapharca subcrenata) were extracted using either Folch solvent (chloroform:methanol, 2:1, v/v) at room temperature or 95% ethanol under heating conditions. After phospholipase A1 (PLA1) treatment, lipids were recovered using either Folch solvent or HIP solvent (hexane:isopropanol, 3:2, v/v). Accordingly, three experimental conditions were established based on the extraction and recovery solvent combinations, namely F-F, E-F, and E-HIP. Highest lipid recovery rate (71.1%) was observed under the E-HIP, and HPLC-ELSD analysis revealed that the ethanol extracts (E-F: 24.4 mg/g, E-HIP: 28.2 mg/g) exhibited higher ether-linked PC contents than the Folch extract (F-F: 15.2 mg/g). GC-FID analysis of the sn-2 fatty acid composition of ether-linked PC showed that unsaturated fatty acids accounted for more than 70% in all samples. LC-ESI-MS analysis revealed a dominant ion at m/z 792 in all samples, corresponding to ether-linked PC species containing a polyunsaturated fatty acid at the sn-2 position.
