Two improved strains of Pennisetum typhoideum (‘bajra’) were found to have a free lipid content of about 5.0% and bound lipid content of about 0.5%. In the non‐polar fraction, sterol esters and hydrocarbons, triglycerides, free fatty acids, free sterols and partial glycerides were present with triglycerides as the principal constituents. Polar lipids were separated by two‐dimensional thin‐layer chromatography and lecithin was found to be the major component. Sterol‐containing glycolipids (sterol glycosides and esterified sterol glycosides) were present in appreciable amounts. Phosphatidyl ethanolamine, phosphatidyl glycerol, phosphatidyl inositol, lysophosphatidyl ethanolamine, lysolecithin, phosphatidic acid, poly‐glycerophosphatide, mono‐ and di‐galactosyl glycerides and cerebrosides have also been tentatively identified.
