A simple and rapid method has been developed for simultaneous determination of cholesterol and α tocopherol in eggs. The method involves alcoholic KOH saponification of the samples, extraction with petroleum ether, and determination by wide bore capillary gas chromatography. 采用20mol/L的KOH乙醇溶液直接皂化,石油醚萃取,大口径毛细管气相色谱法测定鸡蛋中的胆固醇和α维生素E(αVE),讨论并确定了鸡蛋样品皂化的最佳条件。
