Notes: Steryl glucosides are neutral glycolipids commonly found in plant cell membranes and vegetable oils that contain a glucose moiety conjugated to a sterol lipid.{43689} 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.{43689,43690} Steryl glucosides are the major component of filter- and engine-damaging precipitates formed during biodiesel production from transesterification of vegetable oils.{43691} This product contains a mixture of steryl glucosides.
