Favorite
Steroids were detected as per a previously described method [25]. Briefly, one gram of extract was dissolved in a few drops of acetic acid and acetic aldehyde, warmed and cooled under running water, and a drop of sulfuric acid was applied along the test tube’s edges. Steroids are present when a reddish brown ring forms at the contact.
