Compounds detected in these extracts include beta-amyrin (1), taraxerol acetate (2), lupenone (3), beta-amlyrenone (4), germanicone (5), campesterol (6), stigmasterol (7), and beta-sitosterol (8). The method reported herein is shown to be a rapid, sensitive and reproducible tool for describing triterpenes and sterols present in non-polar extracts.218-221engPlerogyne nitensFabaceae-Caesalpinioideaesterolstriterpenesgas chromatographyArtigoS0717-97072009000300004WOS:000269814100004Acesso abertoS0717-97072009000300004.pdf448408368525167325180068207641204702004904231248
