Based on the product type, the Cholesterol is primarily split into NF Grade, BP Grade, Others, etc.
Cholesterol NF (purity≥95%) is used as an emulsifying agent in cosmetic preparations as Cholesterol functions as an excellent moisturizer in skin conditioning cosmetics. Besides this Cholesterol NF is also used as starting material for Vitamin D3 production as well as technical applications such as liquid crystals.
Cholesterol BP (purity≥91%) is a feed grade Cholesterol mainly used in Shrimp feed/premixes. Cholesterol is an essential molecule for the synthesis of molting hormones, sex hormones, bile acids, vitamin D and is a building block of shrimp tissues. Cholesterol cannot be metabolized by shrimp and is therefore added to shrimp feed. It improves the yield in many ways, survival, FCR and growth.
There are other levels of cholesterol, Cholesterol HP (purity≥99%), etc.
