Introduction
Octacosanol usually refers to a class of higher fatty alcohols with biological activity, mainly represented by octacosanols and polyeicosanols.
Chemically, policosanol is a long – chain fatty alcohol, usually over 20 C atoms.
Octacosanol, a main part of policosanol, is a 28 – C straight – chain saturated alcohol.
Policosanol is a mix of higher fatty alcohols, mainly octacosanol and triacontanol.
Sources and Extraction
Natural Sources
It widely exists in nature, such as sugarcane wax, beeswax, rice bran wax, wheat germ oil, etc. Besides, the waxy layers on the leaves, stems and fruits of many plants also contain policosanol.
Extraction Methods
Generally, solvent extraction, saponification, etc. are used to extract policosanol from natural raw materials. It can also be prepared by chemical synthesis. However, products extracted from natural sources are more favored in the market due to their better bioactivity and safety.
