A rapid and sensitive method for the analysis of alkenyl ethers (plasmalogens) in the presence of free aldehyde is proposed. The method is applicable over the range 0.02-0.2 µmoles of plasmalogen and is particularly useful for following the course of enzymatic or chemical reactions in mixtures containing both free aldehydes and plasmalogens in aqueous media.
