The fraction of sterols acetates from fruits and leaves of P. coccínea have been isolated in a typical way from a petroleum ether extract. Besides, by means of the weight method the total amounts of sterols were determined in fruits and leaves (148.2 mg and 75.36 mg per 100 g, respectively), ß-sitosterol, cholesterol, stigmasterol and campesteryl were identified in both fractions by GC, GC/MS and TLC techniques, ß-sitosterol was the predominant sterol component in analysed raw materials obtained from P. coccínea.
