Differentiation of Plant and Animal‐Derived Cholesterol Using irm‐13C NMR and IRMS

open access: yesMagnetic Resonance in Chemistry, EarlyView.
Determining and certifying the origin of ingredients, starting materials, and excipients used in manufactured goods like cosmetics and medicines can be difficult. In this report, we describe a robust approach for identifying the origin of cholesterol, a component of myriad consumer products using irm‐13C NMR and IRMS to differentiate plant versus ...
