Vegetable oils are a rich source of bioactive substances. Phytosterols in those have been known for many years for their properties for reducing blood cholesterol levels, as well as their other beneficial health effects. Phytosterols are triterpenes that are important structural components of plant cell membranes just as cholesterol does in animal cell membranes. The aim of this study was to provide consumers with information about phytosterol contents in vegetable oils in Korea market. The contents of major phytosterols (campesterol, stigmasterol, β-sitosterol) in 50 vegetable oils of 10 kinds (perilla oil, peanut oil, avocado oil, olive oil, pine nut oil, sesame oil, canola oil, coconut oil, grape seed oil, and sunflower oil) were analyzed by gas chromatography with flame ionization detector. The average contents of vegetable oils containing 5 or more samples were in the order of sesame oil (334.43 mg/100 g), perilla oil (262.16 mg/100 g), grape seed oil (183.71 mg/100 g), and olive oil (68.68 mg/100 g). Phytosterol content of sesame oil and perilla oil was high among vegetable oils.

Chemical constituents of fruits, leaves and barks of Acanthopanax senticosus forma inermis were studied. Their fruits have higher contents of crude ash, crude protein, crude fat, fructose and glucose than those of other Acanthopanax species, and contained larger amount of glutamic acid and malic acid among amino acid and organic acid, respectively. The compounds identified from their barks and leaves, were $\beta$-sitosterol and stigmasterol, sesamin, savinin, syringaresinol diglucoside, oleanolic acid, chiisanoside and polyacetytene ($C_9H_{10}O_2$, mp. 62~63).

Perilla frutescens, which comprises var. frutescens and var. crispa, has been cultivated traditionally in Asian countries as an edible oil, leaf vegetable, and medicinal crop. To evaluate the lipophilic phytonutrient properties of P. frutescens, we selected 54 Perilla accessions [19 landraces of var. frutescens (FL), 22 weedy type var. frutescens (FW), 9 weedy type var. crispa (CW), 2 cultivars of var. frutescens widely cultivated for seed oil (FCS), and 2 cultivars of var. frutescens cultivated as a leaf vegetable (FCL)] and analyzed their seeds and leaves for vitamin E, squalene, and phytosterols. Among the four vitamin E isomers analyzed, ${\gamma}$-tocopherol was the major form of vitamin E in seeds, whereas ${\alpha}$-tocopherol was the major form in leaves of all types of P. frutescens. The highest total vitamin E content in seeds was present in FL ($170.0mg{\cdot}kg^{-1}$), whereas that in leaves was highest in FCL ($358.1mg{\cdot}kg^{-1}$). The highest levels of squalene in seeds and leaves were in FL ($65.5mg{\cdot}kg^{-1}$) and CW ($719.3mg{\cdot}kg^{-1}$), respectively. Among the three phytosterols, ${\beta}$-sitosterol occurred in the highest amount in both leaves and seeds of all of the crop types. Phytonutrient contents were comparatively higher in leaves than in seeds of all crop types. All of these results suggest that the consumption of leaves and seeds of Perilla crops could be beneficial to human health, as Perilla possesses considerable amounts of various lipophilic compounds.

Changes in functional constituents of rice germ prepared using three different heat pretreatments: roasting, steaming and microwave heating, were determined and compared with those of non-treated rice germ. The yield of rice germ oil increased generally and then decreased with increasing time for all three heat pretreatments, although the yields of rice germ oil varied among the three heat pretreatments. There were no major differences in fatty acid compositions among the rice germ oils subjected to the three different heat pretreatments. Levels of $\alpha$-tocopherol in rice germ oil increased up to about 1.5 times at 3 min of roasting and microwave heating, compared to control, and then decreased with increasing treatment time, but $\alpha$­tocopherol concentrations in rice germ oil gradually decreased with increasing steaming time. The contents of three phytosterols ($\beta$-sitosterol, stigmasterol and ergosterol) decreased progressively with increases in roasting and steaming time, while concentrations of the three phytosterols increased up to - 15$\%$ with 3 min of microwave process as compared to control, and then decreased thereafter. Levels of $\gamma$-oryzanol in rice germ oil decreased gradually with increasing time during all three different heat pretreatments. However, levels of $\gamma$ -aminobutyric acid (GABA) in rice germ decreased gradually with increasing roasting time, while those of GABA increased greatly up to about 2 times after 10 min of steaming process, and then decreased slowly thereafter. During microwave heating, the contents of GABA increased at 3 min of treatment time and then decreased. These results suggest that microwave heating may be the most suitable processing method to preserve functional constituents in rice germ.

옥수수 종실(kernel)과 속대(cob)의 불검화물(ZML) 중 phytosterol의 조성과 함량의 변이를 구명하여 고품질 옥수수 신품종 육성 및 생리활성물질의 유용 소재화를 위한 기초자료로 활용하고자 본 연구를 실시하여 얻어진결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 1. 옥수수 종실과 속대의 포화지방산은 phytosterol 함량과 부의 상관관계의 경향이었고, 불포화지방산 중 stearic 및 linoleic acid는 정상관 경향을 보였으나, linolenic acid는 종실에서 정상관($r=0.652^*$), 속대는 부상관($r=-0.505^*$) 관계를 보였다. 2. 옥수수 종실의 불검화물을 TLC로 분리한 결과 band I (campesterol, stigmasterol, ${\beta}$-sitosterol), band II (${\Delta}^5$-avenasterol), band III (${\Delta}^7$-stigmastenol), 및 band IV (${\Delta}^7$-avenasterol)로 뚜렷하게 분리되었고, 속대는 band I~IV 이외에도 3종 이상의 band가 추가적으로 분리되었다. 3. 옥수수 종실과 속대에 함유된 phytosterol의 GC 분리 패턴을 확인한 결과 campesterol, stigmasterol 및 ${\beta}$-sitosterol의 분리능이 좋았으나, ${\Delta}^7$-avenasterol (RT 22.846), ${\Delta}^7$-stigmastenol (RT 22.852) 및 ${\Delta}^5$-avenasterol (RT 22.862)은 혼합물질 상태로는 분리가 되질 않았다. 4. 옥수수 종실의 평균 phytosterol 함량은 635.9 mg/100g, 속대는 273.0 mg/100 g으로 종실이 속대에 비해 약 2.4배 정도 phytosterol 함량이 높았다. 옥수수 종실의 phytosterol 조성은 ${\beta}$-sitosterol 80.05% > campesterol 10.5% > stigmasterol 9.46% 순이었으나, 속대는 ${\beta}$-sitosterol 59.43% > stigmasterol 31.72% > campesterol 10.98%으로 종실과 속대의 phytosterol 조성비는 다소 상이하였다. 5. 본 연구 결과를 토대로 판단할 때 옥수수 종실에 함유된 ${\beta}$-sitosterol, campesterol 및 stigmasterol의 생합성 경로에서 전구물질이 되는 ${\Delta}^7$-avenasterol, ${\Delta}^7$-stigmastenol 및 ${\Delta}^5$-avenasterol이 옥수수 속대에서 검출되는 것으로 보아 옥수수 종실의 phytosterol은 속대에서 합성되어 종실로 전이되는 물질인 것으로 추정되었다.

A high-performance liquid chromatographic method for the determination of ${\beta}$-sitosterol in the unsaponifiable fraction of Zea mays L. and its related drug preparations using a cholesterol as an internal standard was investigated. They were saponified with 20% methanolic KOH solution. Phytosterols in the reaction mixture were extracted with diethyl ether and separated on silica gel TLC plate with n-hexane-diethyl ether(40:60) as the solvent and then were scraped off. They were separated by reversed phase high perfomance liquid chromatography on Inertsil ODS-2 column with detection at 205nm. Cholesterol and ${\beta}$-sitosterol were resolved from interferences by adjusting the acetonitrile content in the MeOH-tetrahydrofuran-$H_2O$ eluent. The detection limit of ${\beta$-sitosterol was 0.43${\mu}$g.
