Total analysis of ingredients of SuperZ and GL500.a
| Component | g/100 g sample | |
|---|---|---|
| GL500 | SuperZ | |
| Moisture | 2.8 | 3.0 |
| Lactose | 2.3 | 2.2 |
| Ash (minerals) | 12.3 | 11.2 |
| Total lipids | 82.6 | 83.6 |
| Neutral lipids | 28.41 | 27.74 |
| Glycerophospholipids | 47.59 | 47.06 |
| PC (phosphatidylcholine) | 6.32 | 5.73 |
| PI (phosphatidylinositol) | 9.11 | 8.98 |
| PS (phosphatidylserine) | 12.62 | 12.71 |
| LPC (lysophosphatidylcholine) | 0.17 | 0.00 |
| PE (phosphatidylethanolamine) | 13.50 | 14.84 |
| SM* (total sphingomyelin) | 5.32 | 4.46 |
| LPS (lysophosphatidylserine) | 0.15 | 0.18 |
| LPE (lysophosphatidylethanolamine) | 0.40 | 0.16 |
| Gangliosides | 6.6 | 8.8 |
| GM3 | 4.0 | 0.8 |
| GD3 | 2.6 | 8.0 |
| TN powder | 1.10 | 1.17 |
| Total (moisture + lactose + ash + total lipids) | 100.0 | 100.0 |
aLactose calculated by difference. Neutral lipids are calculated as Total lipids – phospholipids – gangliosides. SM* is the sum of sphingomyelin + dihydrosphingomyelin. LPC, LPS, and LPE are minor lysophospholipids derived from partial hydrolysis of PC, PS, and PE. Phospholipids comprised all the total nitrogen in the protein test (N × 6.38); there was no significant level of protein in these samples.
