Definition
Dihydrobrassicasterol belongs to ergosterols and derivatives class of compounds. Those are steroids containing ergosta-5,7,22-trien-3beta-ol or a derivative thereof, which is based on the 3beta-hydroxylated ergostane skeleton. Dihydrobrassicasterol is practically insoluble (in water) and an extremely weak acidic compound (based on its pKa). Dihydrobrassicasterol can be found in cucumber, fruits, muskmelon, and watermelon, which makes dihydrobrassicasterol a potential biomarker for the consumption of these food products.
Belongs to the class of organic compounds known as ergosterols and derivatives. These are steroids containing ergosta-5,7,22-trien-3beta-ol or a derivative thereof, which is based on the 3beta-hydroxylated ergostane skeleton.
