Abstract

Steroidal hydrocarbon degradation products (steradienes) of sterols formed during the bleaching of confectionery fats were isolated by a new rapid silica column technique. The steradienes were separated by gas chromatography with mass spectrometric detection. Refined mango butter contained predominantly a sterene which was unrelated to the major desmethyl sterols. Dehydration products of triterpene alcohols were isolated from stearin fractions of refined shea butter which is used in the manufacture of chocolate. Copyright (C) 1999 Elsevier Science B.V.
