Methods for Obtaining and Determination of Squalene from Natural Sources

Squalene is a natural dehydrotriterpenic hydrocarbon (C(30)H(50)) with six double bonds, known as an intermediate in the biosynthesis of phytosterol or cholesterol in plants or animals. We have briefly reviewed the natural sources for squalene and focused on the main methods and techniques to obtain...
