Description

General description

Sterols make up the majority of the unsaponifiable matter in vegetable and animal fats. Animal fats contain mostly cholesterol, whereas most vegetable fats contain only traces of this sterol. Plant sterols are collectively called phytosterols. These standards are not corrected for purity. Packed in amber ampule under nitrogen.
Ergosterol is a plant sterol known for its association with structural and growing fungal characteristics like age, maturation, hyphal formation and sporulation. It exhibits broad-spectrum health-promoting performance, by means of antioxidant, anti-inflammatory or antihyperlipidemic properties.[1]

Application

Ergosterol may be used as an analytical reference standard for the determination of the analyte in Tuber spp. Truffles,[1] biological samples,[2] edible mushrooms[3] and mouldy building materials[4] by various chromatographic techniques.
