title: Identification of Trace Sterols in the Seeds of Foxtail Millet (Setaria italica Beauv.).
abstract: Trace sterols in the seeds of foxtail millet (Setaria italica Beauv.) were investigated by GC-MS. Eleven of these trace sterols, i.e., brassicasterol, episterol, 24-methyllathosterol, 24-ethyllathosterol, avenasterol, 24-methylenecholesterol, fucosterol, isofucosterol, 24-methyl-5α-cholest-24(28)-en-3β-ol, 24-ethyl-5α-cholest-24(28)Z-en-3β-ol, and 24-ethyldesmosterol, were identified, suggesting that the previously reported high content of sitostanol was possibly contaminated with a small amount of isofucosterol.
