The process for recovery of plant sterols and tocopherols from deodorization distillates formed during chemical or physical refining of vegetable oils consists of the following steps: free fatty acids are removed from the deodorization distillate by vacuum distillation or by continuation solvent saponification, after the removal of free fatty acids, the received material is reacted with an aromatic carboxylic acid anhydride at a temperature of 50-150° C., under reduced pressure, after the treatment with anhydride, tocopherols are removed from the mixture, and crystalline free sterols are recovered from the distillation residue containing sterol esters, di- and triglycerides by transesterification.

Four C-24 epimeric pairs of 24-alkylsterols 1-8 were stereoselectively synthesized via orthoester Claisen rearrangement of the (22)R or (22S)-Δ23Z steroid derivatives (11 and 12).These compounds were tested on the silkworm larvae, Bombyx mori, in order to examine the relationship of the C-24 stereochemical arrangement and utilizability as a nutrient sterol.All of the tested sterols effectively supported the growth and development of the insect and were converted into cholesterol regardless of the C-24 configuration.Keywords - 24-alkylcholesterol; 24-alkyl-22-dehydrocholesterol; orthoester Claisen rearrangement; stereoselective synthesis; insect sterol; silkworm
