Abstract
The phospholipid content of daily meals (breakfast, lunch, dinner) in the University refectory was examined for 19 days. Phospholipid content of the meal per day was 2.0-5.7 mmol lipid-phosphorus (1.6-4.4g as phospholipid), which corresponds to 0.04-0.17 mmol lipid-P/g dietary fat and 0.58-1.84 mmol lipid-P/kcal energy, respectively. Phosphatidylcholine constituted 0.37-2.4 mmol lipid-P/day (0.3-1.9g as phospholipid) and phosphatidylethanolamine 0.3-0.88 mmol lipid-P/day (0.2-0.7g as phospholipid). Palmitate, stearate, oleate and linoleate were the four major fatty acids in the phospholipid.
