Abstract
STEROL glucosides (sterolins) have been shown to be present in the commercial phospholipids obtained from soybean1, cotton-seed2, corn3 and groundnut4. Using the acetone extraction procedure already described4 we have now isolated similar compounds from rapeseed and linseed phospholipids; to the best of our knowledge this is the first report of the existence of sterol glycosides in any part of the flax or rapeseed.
