Abstract: | Free sterols, sterol esters, sterol monoglucosides and sterol acylmonoglucosides have been obtained from 10 days old seedlings of Cucumis sativus. Free sterols and sterol esters consist mainly of Δ7 di- and triunsaturated sterols, whereas Δ7 mono-unsaturated and Δ5 mono- and diunsaturated sterols predominate in the glucosides and acylglucosides. Both acetates and derivatives of higher fatty acids, mainly linoleic and linolenic acids, have been found in the sterol esters. Sterol acylglucosides contain mostly saturated fatty acids, palmitic and stearic acids being the main components. |
