    Abstract:
    The aim of the present study was to set-up a Fast gas chromatography/mass spectrometry method for the analysis of cholesterol oxidation products (COPs). A silylated mixture of seven oxysterol standards was injected into a Fast GC/MS system. A capillary GC column (10 m×0.1 mm internal diameter×0.1 μm film thickness) coated with 95% dimethyl- and 5% diphenyl-polysiloxane, was used. The method gave a fast (total analysis time=3.5 min) and satisfactory resolution (R>1.2) of the COPs standards, with a good repeatability and sensitivity, similar to those of conventional GC/MS; recoveries were tested on mice liver. Fast GC/MS method suitability for COPs analysis in food was also tested on an oxidized sardine fillet, which had been previously saponified and purified by NH(2) solid-phase extraction (SPE); a good repeatability and sensitivity was also obtained. The analytical performance of the Fast GC/MS method for the determination of COPs, together with the consequent significant reduction of the analysis time and consumables, demonstrates that Fast GC/MS represents a valid alternative to conventional GC/MS and evinces the great potential of such an analytical technique, which could be applied for both food and biological samples.
