Popis: | A new, simplified method for extraction of ergosterol (ergosta-5,7,22-trien-3b-ol) from fungi in soil and litter was developed using presoaking extraction and paraffin oil for recovery. Recoveries of ergosterol were in the range of 94-100 % depending on the solvent to oil ratio. Extraction efficiencies equal to heat-assisted extraction treatments were obtained with presoaking extraction. Ergosterol was detected with thin layer chromatography (TLC) using fluorodensitometry with a quantification limit of 8 ng. Using visual evaluation of images of TLC plates photographed in UV light the quantification limit was 16 ng. |
