Abstract
Sterol was isolated from Irish moss (Chondrus crispus) harvested in Nova Scotia. The principal sterol was identified as cholesterol by thin-layer chromatography, gas–liquid chromatography, infrared spectra, and chemical constants of the sterol and its derivatives. The total and free sterol content of the dry seaweed were 0.012% and 0.011% respectively. The crude sterol contained 1.75% of a 5,7-dienol.Keywords
