PHOSPHOLIPIDS OF UNHOPPED WORT

Unhopped wort was prepared from malt plus corn and lyophylized. The chloroform methanol extractables of the dried wort were subjected to column chromatography on silicic acid to yield a neutral and a polar fraction. When the two fractions were subjected to both one- and two-dimensional thin layer chromatography, the presence of lecithin and lysolecithin could not be demonstrated.
