Characterisation of the glycerophospholipid fraction in flaxseed oil using liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry

► A LC-MS was used to characterise the natural phospholipid (PL) classes. ► A LC-MS was used to characterise the molecular species in flaxseed oils. ► The distribution of fatty acids was found to differ between phospholipids. ► A LC-MS lead to greater understanding of the specific roles played by polar lipids.
