Phytosterols are among the most important plant sterol compounds. This study was conducted to identify and determine the amount of phytosterols in distributed yogurts in Tehran by gas chromatography method without derivatization. A total of 60 yogurt samples, including 20 pasteurized high-fat yogurt samples, 20 pasteurized cream yogurt samples, and 20 traditional high-fat yogurt samples, were collected randomly from dairy product supply centers in Tehran from January to March 2022. Then, the amount of cholesterol and four phytosterol compounds including brassicasterol, campesterol, stigmasterol, and beta-sitosterol in yogurt samples were determined using gas chromatography assay without derivatization. The results showed that the total sterols in high-fat, creamy, and traditional yogurt samples were 504.08±55.79, 816.21±51.87, and 332.8±41.22  mg/100mL, respectively. The highest and lowest percentage of cholesterol belongs to cream (%54.75±065) and traditional yogurt (%46.57±0.65), respectively(p<0.05). Also, the highest percentage of phytosterol belongs to traditional yogurt(%54.75±065) and there was a significant difference with other yogurts(p<0.05). The results also showed that the total phytosterols were more than the permissible limit of the national standard (3%) in all samples. According to the results, phytosterols are used in various yogurts distributed in Tehran, which is against the national standard of Iran. Therefore, periodic and regular evaluation of phytosterols in distributed yogurts should be done throughout the year by regulatory bodies and prevent the violation of consumers' rights.

Today, saturated and trans fatty acids are one of the most important potential health limitations of consuming prepared foods. Fast foods are widely consumed by adults and children due to their quick preparation and the popularity of the taste. As a result, it is very important to control the amount of saturated and trans fatty acids in fast foods. The city of Tehran was divided into five regions: north, south, west, east and center, and from each region, three types of fast food, including mixed pizza, falafel and Chicken nuggets, and three samples from each fast food (a total of 45 samples from 45 different grocery stores were randomly selected). In this study, the concentration of trans fatty acids was calculated as a percentage by Agilent7890A gas chromatography. The average of saturated fatty acids in falafel fast food, mixed pizza and chicken nuggets were 18.02, 36.35 and 19.11 g / 100g, respectively. The average trans acids of chicken nugget fast food, mixed pizza and falafel were 0.36, 0.71 and 0.06 g / 100g, respectively. The difference between different regions of Tehran was not significant in terms of saturated and trans fatty acid content (P> 0.05). Consumption of trans fatty acids through fast food in Tehran is appropriate in comparison with international standards. The lower risk factors than the global standards in this study is due to the low per capita consumption of fast food in Iran (IR = 4 g / day).
