Abstract
The lipid classes and fatty acid composition of 2 local cultivars of Hordeum vulgare , Jao 87, and Jao 83 were studied. Total barley lipids were solvent extracted and classified into their respective classes with the help of silicic acid gel column chromatography. Each lipid class was further fractionated by thin layer chromatography, and after methylation, its fatty acid composition was determined by gas chromatography. The lipid contents were 3-3.2% of the total barley weight in both the cultivars. The percentages of neutral lipids, glycolipids and phospholipids were 70, 10 and 20%, respectively. Gas chromatography showed the presence of fatty acids from series lauric (C SUB 12:0 ) to arachidic (C SUB 20:0 ) while linoleic acid (C SUB 18:2 ) was the principal fatty acid in all the classes with a few exceptions
