## Abstract This short account describes a novel analytical technique for the determination of total, free and esterified sterols in olive oil developed in our laboratory. This methodology is based on ^1^H and ^31^P NMR spectroscopy. The latter spectroscopic analysis requires first the derivatizati

β¦ Synopsis
A reliable method for routine use in the determination of sterols in foods is described. In the sample preparation procedure, acid hydrolysis prior to alkaline saponi"cation was used to liberate glycosidic sterols. Sterols were analyzed by capillary gas chromatography as the trimethylsilyl ether derivatives and quanti"ed using an internal standard (dihydrocholesterol). In method development, the main focus was on optimization of hydrolysis conditions and on extraction of sterols after hydrolysis. Performance of the proposed method was compared to the same method without the acid hydrolysis step. Method validation included recovery tests of added free sterol, esteri"ed sterol, and glycosidic sterol. Major plant sterols, including stanols, and cholesterol could be quantitated at levels 0.5}800 mg/100 g when the method was applied to food samples.

The free and esterified sterol concentrations in 31 edible oils and fats were determined, including individual values for sitosterol, campesterol, stigmasterol, brassicasterol, D 5 -avenasterol, sitostanol, campestanol, and cholesterol. Free and esterified sterols were separated by solid-phase extra
Specific fatty acids and sterols in food composites from seven countries were analyzed. In the 1960s, groups of 8 to 49 men from 16 cohorts, ages 40-59 years and living in the United States, Finland, the Netherlands, Italy, Greece, the former Yugoslavia, or Japan recorded their food intake. In 1987,
