Fig 2.
High performance thin layer chromatography of the lipid classes isolated from Calanus oil by SPE.
St.: Lipid class standard 18–5 A containing lecithin (a); cholesterol (b); oleic acid (c); TAG (d); and cholesteryl oleate (e). Oil: Oil from C. finmarchicus (Calanus oil), NL: Neutral lipids, WE: Wax esters, Hyd. WE: Hydrolyzed wax esters, FAOH and FFA: free fatty alcohols and free fatty acids, respectively, from the hydrolyzed wax esters.

Average yield of different lipid classes extracted 3 times from Calanus oil by means of solid phase extraction.
Values are given in mg and percentage weight of the oil with standard deviation.
