Steryl glucosides are neutral glycolipids commonly found in plant cell membranes and vegetable oils that contain a glucose moiety conjugated to a sterol lipid.1 They function as glucose donors in the biosynthesis of glucocerebrosides (Item No. 25850) in plant microsomes and are metabolic precursors to acylated/esterified steryl glucosides.1,2 Steryl glucosides are the major component of filter- and engine-damaging precipitates formed during biodiesel production from transesterification of vegetable oils.3 This product contains a mixture of steryl glucosides.
