Monoglycosyldiglyceride (MGDG) and diglycosyldiglyceride (DGDG) were isolated from rice grain, identified, and examined for composition of fatty acid as well as sugar constituents. MGDG was found to contain seven component acids, palmitic (51.4%), linoleic (29.7%), and oleic (22.0%) being predominant, and one component sugar, galactose. DGDG was observed to have eight component acids, including linoleic (38.8%), oleic (19.2%), palmitic (18.8%), and linolenic (18.2%), and two component sugars, galactose (85.8%) and glucose (14.2%).
