Three new steryl esters and a new phenylethanol ester, together with 22 known compounds were isolated from the aqueous ethanolic extract of the whole plants of Syringa komarowii. The new compounds were elucidated as stigmastane-3beta,6alpha-diol 3-O-tetradecanoate (1), stigmastane-3beta,6alpha-diol 3-O-palmitate (2), stigmastane-3beta,6alpha-diol 3-O-stearate (3), and 2-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-ethyl dotriacontanoate (4) on the basis of extensive spectral data and chemical evidences.

Sterols and triterpene alcohols exist in free and esterified forms in edible oils. To date, only few studies have determined the content of free or esterified sterols and triterpene alcohols using gas chromatography-flame ionization detection (GC-FID). In this study, analytical conditions were optimized using free and esterified sterol standards.

Steryl esters (SE) are a storage pool of sterols that accumulates in cytoplasmic lipid droplets and helps to maintain plasma membrane sterol homeostasis throughout plant growth and development. Ester formation in plant SE is catalyzed by phospholipid:sterol acyltransferase (PSAT) and acyl-CoA:sterol acyltransferase (ASAT), which transfer long-chain fatty acid groups to free sterols from phospholipids and acyl-CoA, respectively. Comparative mass spectrometry-based metabolomic analysis between ripe fruits and seeds of a tomato (Solanum lycopersicum cv Micro-Tom) mutant lacking functional PSAT and ASAT enzymes (slasat1xslpsat1) shows that disruption of SE biosynthesis has a differential impact on the metabolome of these organs, including changes in the composition of free and glycosylated sterols.

Lipid enrichment is indispensable for enhancing the coverage of targeted molecules in mass spectrometry (MS)-based lipidomics studies. In this study, we developed a simple stepwise fractionation method using a titanium- and zirconium-dioxide-coated solid-phase extraction (SPE) silica column that separates neutral lipids, phospholipids, and other lipids, including fatty acids (FAs) and glycolipids. Chloroform was used to dissolve the lipids, and neutral lipids, including steryl esters, diacylglycerols, and triacylglycerols, were collected in the loading fraction.

Sterols and triterpenic alcohol analyses are one of the officially established parameters for assessing the authenticity of virgin olive oil (VOO). Most of the applications described for sterol analysis, including the official method, only allow the determination of the total sterol content but not its distribution in free or esterified form. This work proposes a two-dimensional liquid chromatography/high-resolution mass spectrometry (2D-LC-HRMS) method for the simultaneous analysis of triterpenic alcohols, free sterols and steryl esters.

Lipid droplets (LDs) are organelles composed of a hydrophobic core (mostly triacylglycerols and steryl esters) delineated by a lipid monolayer and found throughout the tree of life. LDs were seen for a long time as simple energy storage organelles but recent works highlighted their versatile roles in several fundamental cellular processes, particularly during stress response. LDs biogenesis occurs in the ER and their number and size can be dynamically regulated depending on their function, e.
