<p>A method of extracting n-hexacosanol (C26 aliphatic alcohol), either per se or as a n-hexacosanol-rich mixture of aliphatic alcohols, particularly as a n-hexacosanol-rich mixture of C20 to C32 aliphatic alcohols, comprising extracting the alcohol or alcohol mixture from lanolin alcohols. The lanolin alcohols may be derived from unrefined wool wax by hydrolisis. The use of a lanolin source for the extraction of such C26-rich higher aliphatic alcohol mixtures provides a much more economical source of such alcohols, which are particularly useful for their biological activity.</p> |
