Sterol Composition Analysis in 110 Gasipaes Plant Oil Samples

110 samples of the plant species Gasipaes var. gasipaes were analyzed for sterol composition, expressed as a percentage of solvent-free total oil. The dataset provides summary statistics including mean, standard deviation, and range of values for these analyses.

Use Cases

• Compare sterol composition ranges across the 110 Gasipaes samples to identify chemical variability.
• Use mean sterol percentage values as a baseline for comparative studies of other plant oils.
• Analyze the relationship between standard deviation and the range of sterol values to assess data dispersion.

Strengths

• Includes 110 distinct biological samples (n=110), providing a substantive sample size.
• Reports three key statistical measures (mean, standard deviation, range) for each analyzed sterol.
• Data is shared under a permissive CC BY 4.0 license, enabling reuse with attribution.

Limitations

• The dataset is small in file size (21.5 KB), indicating limited scope and likely a single summary table.
• Raw columnar data for individual samples is not provided, only aggregated statistics.
• The specific sterol compounds analyzed are not named in the available description.
