Cholesterol is a minor sterol present in plants. It is majorly associated with the plant membranes and is a constituent of leaf surface lipids.

Application

Cholesterol has been used:

• in the preparation of small unilamellar vesicles
• in the generation of thymoquinone (TQ) loaded liposomes for administering into murine model with Candida albicans infection
• in the preparation of small unilamellar vesicles for structured illumination microscopy studies
