crystalization of cholesterol crystal by gel method

Cholesterol (C27H46O) is the most abundant and best known steroid in the animal kingdom. In the present study the crystallization of pure cholesterol monohydrate crystals in gel medium. In human body, precipitation of cholesterol gallstones occurs due to a defect of crystallization inhibiting or an abundance of crystallization promoting factors. The physical/ chemical events useful method for the identification of factors delaying or preventing precipitation of cholesterol crystals and therefore, gallstone formation in humans .The Gel grown cholesterol crystals are characterized by using FT-IR,FT-Raman and XRD methods.
