Analysis of sterols of seed oils from Vernonia galamensis, Amaranthus cruentus, A caudatus, A hybridus and A hypochondriacus , the last four being exotic breeds planted in the humid tropics of Africa, is presented in this report. Identifiable sterols in all the seed oil samples include campesterol, stigmasterol, ß‐sitosterol, Δ 5 ‐avenasterol and Δ 7 ‐avenasterol except for Vernonia galamensis where cholesterol was detected (63.61 mg per 100 g oil).
