The phospholipid‐glycolipid mixture, isolated chromatographically from the 舠free舡 (hexane soluble) and 舠bound舡 (hexane insoluble, water‐saturated butanol extractable) lipid of wheat endosperm, was fractionated by column and thinlayer silicic acid chromatography. The components were identified by hydrolysis followed by thin‐layer or paper chromatography of the products. They included a sterol‐containing glycolipid, hitherto unreported in wheat. The fatty acid and sterol compositions of the phospholipidglycolipid components were determined by gasliquid chromatography. Differences were found between varieties and between components.
