Summary
The qualitative and quantitative compositions of the neutral lipids and the fatty-acid composition of the individual classes of neutral lipids isolated from fresh, freeze-dried, and air-dry cells of the algaChlorella vulgaris have been investigated.
The presence of natural fatty acid methyl esters in the lipid extract of the fresh and air-dry chlorella cells has been established.
It has been shown that the fatty acid methyl ester fraction is enriched with palmitic acid as compared with the triglyceride and free fatty acid fractions.
The main unsaturated acids of the chlorella lipids contain the first double bond in the Δ9 position.
