Introduction:
Stigmasterol appears to be white crystalline powder with optically activity, and its density is higher than water's, the melting point is above 100°C, it is insoluble in water, alkali and acid, and can be dissolved in acetone and alcohol lightly under ambient temperature. It will decompose and sublimate under high temperature. It can become hydrocarbon through hydrogenation between 150°C-170°C, and will be resinified over 250°C.
Stigmasterol is a chemical compound found in many plant fats. In addition to being found in plants, it is present in many animals which absorb it through their diets, and in animal products such as milk. For plants, stigmasterol plays a regulatory function. Humans utilize stigmasterol in a number of chemical processes which are designed to yield synthetics for the pharmaceutical industry.
Calabar beans, rapeseed, soybeans, cocoa beans, and nuts and seeds in general have a high concentration of stigmasterol. This compound can also be found in many other plants. It is part of a group of chemicals known as phytosterols. These steroid alcohols are usually insoluble in water, and are chemically similar to cholesterol, a compound found in animals.
Collected from plants, stigmasterol can be used to make synthetic progesterone for medical use. Progesterone can also be used as a precursor for an assortment of estrogens, androgens, and corticoids, making it useful in the manufacture of medications which use hormones in these groups. Plant sterols are used in the produced of a number of hormones intended for use in humans and other animals
