Unsaponifiable lipids of Cotugnia digonopora and Raillietina fuhrmanni (Cestoda: Cyclophyllidea). 1980

S C Nigam, and G Premvati

Unsaponifiable substance in Cotugnia digonopora and Raillietina Fuhrmanni (Cestoda: Cyclophyllidea) was 6.3% and 7.5% respectively of the total lipid content. On characterization of the unsaponifiable fraction, cholesterol was found to be 90% and 93% respectively in the two cestodes. A search for friedelin was negative.
