The lipid composition of the herb of ground burnut (Tribulus terrestris L.) grown in the Republic of Uzbekistan was investigated. Column chromatography was used to separate lipids into individual groups: neutral lipids, glycosides, and phospholipids. Their composition and content were established. The nonsaponifying substances (yield, 9.12%) in the lipids of ground burnut are hydrocarbons, β-carotene, aliphatic alcohols, triterpenols, sterols, xanthophylls, and unidentified components. The qualitative and quantitative composition of lipid fatty acids was investigated by gas-liquid chromatography. Hexadecanoic acid, or palmitic acid is the most common saturated acid; its amount is higher in glycolipids. Linoleic acid is dominant in neutral lipids and phospholipids. High-molecular acids are present in glycolipids only.
