Sterols in Starfishes(Asterina pectinifera)include at least ten closely related compounds. The difference in mass spectra between Δ5 and Δ7-sterols has been discussed. The results suggest that they had similar sterol components of characteristicΔ7-sterols. Δ7-eholestenol, Δ7, 22-ergostadienol, stellastenol, Δ7, 22-stigmastadienol, Δ7-stigmastenol, chole stanol, andΔ7.22-cholestadienol were separated by gas chromatography with 3% NGS-XE 60 column and identified by the combined gas chromatographymass spectrometry(GC-MS).
