The effect of temperature (25 or 35 °C) and moisture content (10, 12.5, 15.5 %) on rapeseed phytosterol degradation was examined for 18 days. Statistical analysis showed that temperature, moisture and time of storage have a significant effect on phytosterol degradation. After 18 days of seed storage at a temperature of 25 and 30 °C losses of these compounds amounted to 11 and 13 % in seeds with moisture contents of 10, 12 and 16 % in seeds with a moisture content of 12.5 %, while they were 24 and 58 % in seeds with a moisture content of 15.5 %. Among all the identified sterols the greatest degradation rate was observed for stigmasterol and brassicasterol. Losses of stigmasterol and brassicasterol during storage of seeds with a 12.5 % moisture content at a temperature of 30 °C were 17 and 28 %, respectively, while in seeds with a moisture content of 15.5 % these losses increased to 73 and 63 %.
