Notes:
The level of cholesterol oxides depends on the production and storage conditions for food. We studied the effect of prolonged storage, heat, and diffuse daylight on spray-dried egg powder and cookies containing large amounts of cholesterol. The cholesterol oxides were isolated by chromatographic procedures, and were identified by recording 1H-NMR spectra of selected HPLC fractions. Autooxidation was quite slow when the sample was stored in a freezer at — 20°C. Diffuse daylight increased the amounts of β-epoxide of cholesterol, whereas heating caused a sharp increase in C-7 oxidized cholesterol derivatives. Extent of cholesterol oxidation depended on storage conditions.
