from Bligh and Dyer and Chiu et al. [23,24]. Briefly, 80 mg of dried bio-
mass was precisely weighed and suspended in 20 mL of methanol/chlo-
roform (v/v, 2:1) and sonicated for 10 min in a test tube. The chloroform
phase was collected and dried under nitrogen gas. The remaining total
lipid residues were precisely weighed using an XP-205 electronic
balance.
FAMEs were determined by transmethylation of extracted total
lipids using the method of Cai et al [25]. Briefly, 3 mL of 0.5 N NaOH in
methanol was added to the extracted total lipid and boiled at 100 °C
in a JSWB-06 T Bath & Circulator (JSR, KOR) for 5 min and 1 mL of 95%
hexane (Sigma Aldrich, USA) was added to the mixture and mixed.
After centrifugation at 1000 ×g for 3 min, the upper hexane layer was
diluted three-fold for gas chromatographic analysis. FAME's were ana-
