Cholesterol and cholesterol oxide products (COPs) of Gulbi (Pseudosciaena manchurica) processed and stored at different salting times of 5 hours and 5 days were analyzed. The content of cholesterol was $133.4{\pm}5.20\;mg/100\;g$ in the fresh sample. Cholesterol content was decreased during salting and storage; its contents were $130.3{\pm}2.95\;mg/100\;g$ and $87.2{\pm}3.49\;mg/100\;g$ in 5 hours and 5 days salting samples, respectively. The content of 7-ketocholesterol in 5 hours and 5 days salting samples were $75.2{\pm}2.70\;{\mu}g/100\;g$ and $82.4{\pm}3.30\;{\mu}g/100\;g$. The 7-ketocholesterol content of salting sample for 5 hours had no significantly difference for 2 days sun drying, but it was dramatically increased during 5 days sun drying and then increased during storage days. $7{\alpha}-$ and $7{\beta}-hydroxycholesterol$ were not detected in fresh sample, but increased during Gulbi processing and storage. The $7{\alpha}-hydroxycholesterol$ was increased during Gulbi processing and storage and a higher level of $658.1{\pm}6.20\;{\mu}g/100\;g$ was detected in 5 hours salting sample than in 5 days salting sample after 21 days storage. The $7{\beta}-hydroxycholesterol$ also showed similar tendency with $7{\alpha}-hydroxycholesterol$; it was largely increased between 7 and 14 days storage in 5 days salting sample.

The inhibition of cholesterol autoxidation by commercial ${\gamma}$-Oryzanol (0, 50, 100, and 300 ppm) was studied in an aqueous model system for 20 h at pH 5.5 and $80^{\circ}C$. The inhibition effectiveness of the commercial ${\gamma}$-Oryzanol was followed by the retention of cholesterol and the formation of C-7 oxidized cholesterol derivatives (OCDs). Changes in the amount of ${\gamma}$-Oryzanol in the aqueous system were determined during cholesterol autoxidation. A method to detect the levels of 7-ketocholesterol, $7{\alpha}$-hydroxycholesterol and $7{\beta}$-hydroxycholesterol in an aqueous model system with ${\gamma}$-Oryzanol was developed by using the hexane-ethyl acetate extraction system and high-performance liquid chromatography. Results showed that the levels of C-7 OCDs in an aqueous dispersion containing 300 ppm of ${\gamma}$-Oryzanol were not significantly (p>0.05) increased, when compared to other treatments (0, 50, and 100 ppm), during the accelerated cholesterol oxidation.

The present study was performed to evaluate combination effect of 7$\beta$-hydroxycholesterol (7$\beta$-OHC) and $\gamma$-radiation in NCI-H460 human lung cancer cells. 7$\beta$-OHC in combination with $\gamma$-irradiation has an enhanced effect in decreasing clonogenic survival and increasing cellular DNA damage. Pretreatment of cells with 7$\beta$-OHC enhanced radiation-induced apoptosis. Apoptosis of the cells by combined treatment of 7$\beta$-OHC and $\gamma$-irradiation was associated with reactive oxygen species generation and loss of mitochondrial membrane potential, resulting in the activation of caspase 9 and caspase 3. The combined treatment also resulted in an increased G1 cell cycle distribution. These results indicate that 7$\beta$-OHC shows the additive effect of radiation sensitivity in human lung carcinoma cells in vitro.

Cholesterol oxidation products(COPs) such as 7-ketocholesterol, 7 ${\alpha}$, 7 ${\beta}$-hydroxycholesterol and 25-hydroxycholesterol were analyzed for ensuring the safety of squid during its drying and cooking. In addition. changes of malonaldehyde in squid during its drying and cooking were also investigated. Cholesterol was detected 636.4m9/1009 in fresh sample, which was decreased during its drying and cholesterol contents in dried sample were 468.9mg/100g, 486.8mg/100g, respectively, while COPs contents of sun and hot air dried samples increased about 6.2 times more than those contents of fresh sample. Regardless of cooking methods, the contents of COPs in dried products increased after cooking. Especially, those contents were determined 127.3 mg/g in sun dried samples were cooked by microwave oven. The malonaldehyde contents of dried products increased after cooking, its contents in cooked samples by an microwave oven after sun dried were about 4.3 times more than in control products. In general, a small quantity of COPs were formed in dried samples which were cooked by a steam.

Bacillus subtilis SFF34 degrading cholesterol was applied to reduce residual cholesterol content in fermented flatfish. When the bacterial cells were inoculated as a start culture, a maximal level (1.7 U/g) of cholesterol oxidase was obtained after 10 days, which was two times higher than that (0.8 U/g) without inoculation. Residual cholesterol contents with and without inoculation of the cells were 0.5 mg/g and 0.8 mg/g after 12 days of fermentation, respectively. Cholesterol derivatives including cholesterol- 5${\alpha},\;6{\alpha}$-epoxide, 4-cholesten-3-one and 7${\beta}$-hydroxycholesterol were detected in raw flatfish as well as fermented flatfish. Campesterol and 25-hydroxycholesterol were detected only after fermentation. However, no significant differences in their contents were observed regardless of inoculation.

Cholesterol and cholesterol oxidation products (COPs) may accumulate in foods of animal origin during processing or storage. An effective and sensitive analytical method was developed by increasing the UV absorption of compounds through derivatization by attaching a chromophore to the functional groups of cholesterols (cholesterol, 20-hydroxycholesterol, 7-ketocholesterol, cholestane-$3{\beta}$-$5{\alpha}$-$6{\beta}$-triol, 25-hydroxycholesterol, and $5,6{\alpha}$-epoxycholesterol). The influences of the reaction time, volume of reaction solvent, amounts of derivatizing reagent, and extraction solvents were investigated, as they may influence the reaction and extraction yield. The derivatized COPs were analyzed simultaneously on a C18 column (2.1 mm i.d. ${\times}$ 100 mm length, $3.5{\mu}m$ particle size) using a gradient elution with water and acetonitrile. The derivatized COPs showed increased sensitivity and selectivity in HPLC/UV-Vis. The LOD and LOQ were in the concentration ranges of 0.018-0.55 mg/kg and 0.059-1.84 mg/kg from the powdered milk. And the accuracy and precision were 78.1-116.7% and 1.1-9.9%, respectively.

Beef, pork and chicken meat that retailed in market were used as experimental samples. Some samples in raw state were packaged with PVDC as aerobic and vacuum condition. The other samples were cooked until internal temperature arrived at $70^{\circ}C$ using electric oven and then packaged immediately in the same way of raw samples. After these samples were irradiated by electron beam (0, 1, 2 kGy), irradiated samples were stored in refrigerator $(2{\sim}4^{\circ}C)$. Identification and quantification of cholesterol oxides were analysed at 0, 7, 14 days. The results were following. The results indicated that raw-vacuum packaged lower detected than that of other treatments. In raw-vacuum packaged, the amounts of $7{\beta}-hydroxycholesterol$ were detected slightly $(below\;0.5\;{\mu}ug/g)$ during storage, and 7-ketocholesterol were detected during every stored time and amounts of this detection were $8.02{\sim}101.30\;{\mu}g/g$. In cooked-aerobic packaged, total amounts of detection were higher than that of other treatments, total amounts of cholesterol oxides were detected about $51.18{\sim}155.90\;{\mu}g/g$ during storage. In all results, pork and chicken samples were similar to the results of beef samples. In all results, total amounts of cholesterol oxides increased significantly as irradiation dose and storage time increased (P<0.05).

Chicken thigh from a retail market were used as experimental samples. Some chicken samples of raw state were packaged with PVDC at an aerobic and vacuum condition. The other samples were cooked until core temperature arrived at 70$^{\circ}C$ and then packaged immediately in the same way of raw samples. After samples were irradiated by electron beam at 6 kGy, they were stored in a refrigerator. Identification and quantity of cholesterol oxides were made at 0 and 7 days of storage, respectively. During the early stage of storage, 7$\beta$-hydroxycholesterol, $\alpha$,$\beta$-epoxide, cholestanetriol and 7-ketocholesterol were produced from the raw meat samples, and the production of these chemicals were significantly higher(P〈0.05) from the samples with aerobic packaging than those with vacuum packaging. With storage time, 7$\alpha$-hydroxycholesterol, 6-ketocholesterol and some other chemicals, which were not found during the early stage of storage, were found. Also, the formation of these chemicals were significantly increased(P〈0.05) with storage time. Cholesterol and lipid oxidation products of cooked meat after irradiation and irradiated meat after cooking were significantly increased(P〈0.05) with storage time for all treatments, and vacuum packaging results in showed significantly lower value(P〈0.05) than aerobic packaging. Summarizing the aforementioned results, it was found that the formation of cholesterol and lipid oxides and lipid oxidation was more easily affected by packaging condition than irradiation.
