Abstract
A flow system containing immobilized cholesterol oxidase column is app lied to the analysis of various brands of eggs, ghee, oil etc., for th e free sterol content. Eggs of domestic hens have significantly low co ntent of free cholesterol as compared to cholesterol level in farmy eg gs. The total sterol content of the ghee is lower as compared to oils, probably because of the loss of sterol during bleaching, blending and refining. The sterol content varies widely among different oils/ghee.
