Abstract
Spell is still a minor cereal crop, mainly grown in Belgium. It is said to have a better nutritive value than winter wheat. Moreover, interesting functional properties have traditionally been attributed to spell, such as a cholesterol-lowering effect. However, such properties are not substantiated by scientific evidence. Considering their physiological effects, phytosterols could partly account for spell's properties and have never been studied in this cereal. Phytosterols were analysed by LC/APCI-MS in spell and winter wheat fine bran, a lipid and fibre-rich milling by-product. Sample preparation was suitable for the determination of glycosylated and free sterols, combined to their released counterparts after saponification. Chromatographic retention times, full mass spectra and MS2 spectra of 12 reference sterols allowed the characterization of phytosterols present in cereal samples. (C) 2003 Elsevier Ltd.
