Development and comprehensive greenness assessment of HPLC method for quality control of β-sitosterol in pharmaceutical ointments with trio-color coded evaluation by Haya I. Aljohar, Abdullah M. Al-Hossaini, Seham A. Alzammay, Samiah Alhabardi, Hadir M. Maher, Aya R. Ahmed

“…It exhibited a linearity range of 30 to 500 µg/mL and improved detectability with a limit of detection (LOD) of 4.65 µg/mL, highlighting its high sensitivity. Additionally, the separation was achieved in a remarkably short analysis time of just 2.1 min, which not only enhanced throughput but also significantly minimized waste and solvent consumption, thereby making it a more sustainable and effective alternative for β-sitosterol extraction. …”
