Determination of cholesterol in food matrices is essential for quality control concerning the health of consumers. Herein, a simple electrochemical approach for cholesterol quantitation in dairy products is evaluated. The newly developed differential pulse voltammetric method using acetonitrile-perchloric acid mixture as a supporting electrolyte is statistically compared to GC–MS and HPLC-UV. Oxidation signals of cholesterol at +1.5 V and +1.4 V (vs. Ag/AgNO₃ in acetonitrile) provide detection limits of 4.9 µM and 6.1 µM on boron-doped diamond and glassy carbon electrodes, respectively. A simple liquid–liquid extraction procedure from dairy products into hexane resulted in a recovery rate of (74.8 ± 3.8)%. The method provides results in close agreement (at a 95% confidence level) with GC–MS, while HPLC-UV resulted in a significant difference in estimated cholesterol concentrations for all samples. This newly developed method is a simpler, faster and cheaper alternative to instrumentally demanding MS-based methods and clearly outperforms HPLC-UV.
