Acid-labilization of sterols for extraction from yeast

R A Gonzales et al. Biochim Biophys Acta. .

Abstract

A wild type strain of yeast, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, pretreated with a mild acid hydrolysis, exhibited a 4-fold increase in sterol yield upon saponification and extraction. This increased yield is reflected in both major and minor sterols (ergosterol; zymosterol) and sterol esters.
