Interaction between water and cholesterine in organic media was studied by means of dielectric and NMR-spectroscopy. It is shown that cholestine binds water in an equimolar ratio with the formation of strong hydrogen bonds between the hydroxil groups of cholesterine and water molecules. It is assumed that an ordered structure of cholesterine in the form of micellae is being formed around the water molecules. The conformation and size of the micellaes depend on cholesterine concentration and water content in dispersion.
