Abstract
Diosgenin is an important starting material in the steroidal hormone industry. The yield of diosgenin obtained from the fermentation of Dioscorea zingibernsis C. H. Wright (DZW) by Trichoderma harzianum is higher than that typically obtained from acid hydrolysis. In this paper, the extraction of steroids in the culture broth was studied. A novel three-liquid-phase system (TLPS) consisted of petroleum ether, ethanol, ammonium sulphate and water...
