ABSTRACT Using gas chromatography techniques after lipid extraction, soybean hulls were analyzed for their plant sterol components. Soybean hulls contained 7.46% and 2.02% moisture and lipid components, respectively. Three plant sterols, campestrol, stigmasterol, and β‐sitosterol, were quantified in the ratios of 1: 1.5: 2. The use of soybean hulls as food ingredients was discussed for their potential serum cholesterol reducing effects.
