Herein, to achieve individual and concomitant quantifications of phospholipid classes, an absolute quantification P NMR method using an internal standard was examined. Phospholipid standards and dietary foods were dispersed to prepare test solutions in an anionic surfactant (sodium cholate) solution containing EDTA, as a modification based on a reported method. Each phospholipid class showed a reproducible chemical shift at a near-neutral test solution pH of 6.90±0.04 and temperature of 30.0±0.1°C. The quantity of synthetic phosphatidylcholine measured usingP NMR was consistent with that measured by H NMR using an internal standard. As the principal phospholipid class of soybean and egg yolk lecithin is phosphatidylcholine, the measurement conditions ofP NMR (pulse interval time and number of scans) were optimized such that minor phospholipids, including lysophospholipids, also present in lecithin could be quantified simultaneously. Phospholipid classes in commercial polar lipid samples derived from porcine brain, yeast, and soybean were individually quantified using the above conditions. Using phosphoserine as the internal standard material allowed the absolute molar quantity of the phospholipid class to be precisely determined with traceability to the SI. The determined molar amounts of phospholipid classes were then translated to the weight amount by assuming that each phospholipid class contained two stearic acid molecules as the constituent fatty acid. The calculated total contents of each phospholipid class by P NMR were in good agreement with those obtained by molybdenum blue colorimetry. Furthermore, the quantitative values of the principal phospholipid classes in the polar lipid samples obtained byP NMR corresponded in a broad view, however, was more informative for the separation of individual phospholipid species rather than the quantitative 2D thin-layer chromatography.
