Figure 4. MS analysis of purified neutral lipids from pollen.

Figure 4

Purified neutral lipids from pollen were analysed by TLC and used for electrospray MS analysis in the presence of lithium (panel A). Ions between 830 and 900 amu in the lipid X fraction (highlighted in red and Panel B) were selected for fragmentation and the diagnostic fragments produced, such as those in Panel C from the 858 mass ion, allowed determination of fatty acid composition of proposed TAG species (Panel D).
