Brief Introduction:
Octacosanol is a long-chain fatty alcohol that is similar to
cholesterol in structure. This compound is found in the waxy
film that covers the leaves and fruits of plants. Octacosanol
is the primary chemical compound of a group of plant
compounds called policosanols. Policosanols have been studied
for their effects on stabilizing cholesterol levels, as well as
improving energy production.

cosmetics and pharmaceuticals industry as well as the correlative
