CAS 474-62-4: Campesterol
Description:Campesterol is a phytosterol, a type of plant sterol that is structurally similar to cholesterol. It is commonly found in various plant sources, particularly in vegetable oils, nuts, and seeds. Campesterol has a molecular formula of C27H46O and features a characteristic steroid structure, which includes a four-ring core with a hydroxyl group (-OH) at the C3 position. This compound is known for its potential health benefits, particularly in cholesterol management, as it can help lower LDL cholesterol levels when consumed as part of a balanced diet. Campesterol is also recognized for its role in plant physiology, contributing to membrane structure and function. In terms of physical properties, it is typically a white to off-white crystalline solid with low solubility in water but higher solubility in organic solvents. Its presence in food products is often associated with health claims related to heart health and cholesterol reduction, making it a subject of interest in nutritional studies and dietary supplements.
