In this study, Asphodelus tenuifolius (ATO) seeds oils were extracted by three different extraction methods, namely Soxhlet (SE), microwave-assisted (MAE) and ultrasonic-assisted (UAE). The physicochemical properties, fatty acids, sterols, tocols, total phenol content antioxidant activity of ATO seed examined compared. best yield was from SE (21.97 ± 0.01%), followed MAE (19.28 0.13%) while tha...

The electrophoretic behavior of powdered ergosterol crystals is identical with that previously found for cholesterol within the limits of experimental error. Evidence for an adsorption hypothesis is presented to explain this phenomenon.
