The compositions of the neutral lipids, glycolipids, phospholipids and fatty acids of the brown algae Laminaria japonica and Laminaria cichorioides have been studied, it has been found that the glycolipids are the main lipid classes in these algae. Palmitic, oleic, and polyunsaturated acids with 18 and 20 carbon atoms form the group of main acids. The lipids of both species of the Laminaria genus have a complex composition but they differ by the ratios of their fatty acids.
