Abstract
The lecithin and cephalin fractions were obtained from a chlamys, Chlamys nippoensis, a pecten, Pecten yesoensis, an octopus, Octopus dofleini, and a squid, Ommastrephes sloani pacificus.
The lecithin of chlamys, pecten, octopus and squid proved to contain respectively, P 3.99, 4.03, 3.56, 3.75%; N 1.85, 1.80, 1.75, 1.71%; choline 14.62, 13.24, 15.00, 14.45%; glycerol 11.25, 11.61, 11.66, 11.49%; iodine no. 96.3, 109.2, 57.1, 107.9.
The cephalin of these mollusca contained respectively, P 4.05, 4.02, 3.30, 3.62%; N 1.72, 1.62, 1.71, 1.91%; ethanolamine 5.65, 5.82, 6.20, 6.58%; serine 3.18, 2.36, 1.34, 2.51%; glycerol 11.34, 10.32, 10.04, 10.92%; iodine no. 75.4, 60.8, -, 105.0.
Inositol was found in the cephalin of chlamys and pecten, but not in that of octopus and squid.
