HP-TLC of oils (prior to extraction) and extracts. Fatty acid standards: 16-1A containing phospholipids (A1), monoacylglycerol (A2), diacylglycerol (A3), cholesterol (A4), free fatty acids (A5), triacylglycerol (A6), and cholesteryl ester (A7). 18-5A containing phospholipids (B1), cholesterol (B2), free fatty acids (B3), triacylglycerol (B4), and cholesteryl ester (B5). (a) Extracts: CWO-1 EtOAc (1), CWO-1 BuOH (2), CWO-1 H2O (3), CWO-2 EtOAc (4), CWO-2 BuOH (5), and CWO-2 H2O (6). (b) Oils before extraction: CLO (1) and CWO (2) empty (3) extracts: CLO-1 H2O (4), CLO-1 BuOH (5), and CLO EtOAc (6). HP-TLC = high performance thin-layer chromatography; CWO = cold-pressed whale oil; CLO = cod liver oil; EtOAc = ethyl acetate; BuOH = butyl alcohol.
