Relative sterol compositions of TMs and DRMs
Proportions are calculated as percentage of total sterols detected by GC-MS. Figures are means ± sd (%) of four TM and DRM preparations.
| Sterol | TM Mean ± sd | DRM Mean ± sd |
|---|---|---|
| % | % | |
| β-Sitosterol | 79.4 ± 4.7 | 81.0 ± 2.0 |
| Campesterol | 8.6 ± 1.3 | 10.0 ± 2.1 |
| Unidentified sterol | 12.1 ± 5.2 | 7.6 ± 1.3 |
| Stigmasterol | Trace | 1.2 ± 1.5 |
| Cholesterol | Trace | 0.2 ± 0.4 |
