Definition
Cholesteryl-β-d-glucoside is a member of the class of compounds known as steroidal glycosides. Steroidal glycosides are sterol lipids containing a carbohydrate moiety glycosidically linked to the steroid skeleton. Cholesteryl-β-d-glucoside is practically insoluble (in water) and a very weakly acidic compound (based on its pKa). Cholesteryl-β-d-glucoside can be found in a number of food items such as pasta, banana, cauliflower, and black cabbage, which makes cholesteryl-β-d-glucoside a potential biomarker for the consumption of these food products.
Belongs to the class of organic compounds known as steroidal glycosides. These are sterol lipids containing a carbohydrate moiety glycosidically linked to the steroid skeleton.
