A method of extraction and purification of monogalactosyldiglyceride (MGDG) and digalactosyldiglyceride (DGDG) in rice leaves was gained based on silica gel column chromatography,TLC and reversed phase HPLC.Most pigments and neutral lipids could be removed from total lipids with silica gel column chromotography,but reversed phase HPLC was only suitable for the treatment of a small amount of pured MGDG and DGDG preparation.The results of HPLC analysis showed that over 96% unsaturated fatty acid was α linolenic acid (18∶3),and no 16∶3 fatty ac...
