Sterol Ester Finished Products

Phytosterol esters are generally prepared from phytosterols and fatty acids through esterification or transesterification, and their physiological functions include the physiological functions of phytosterols and fatty acids, and have the same effect of reducing plasma total cholesterol and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol as free phytosterols, and in some aspects even better.

Phytosterols are widely found in plant roots, stems, leaves, fruits and seeds, and are an integral part of plant cell membranes. Phytosterol esters as hypolipidemic factors can be widely used in margarine, spread oil and ice cream products, while reducing the use of emulsifiers.

In addition, phytosterols have significant hypolipidemic function, which can inhibit the digestion and absorption of cholesterol, promote the dissolution and metabolism of cholesterol, and inhibit the biochemical production of cholesterol. Phytosterols can also play a role in inhibiting skin inflammation, promoting skin metabolism, anti-oxidation, hair growth and so on.

For more information on the finished sterol esters, it is recommended to consult a professional doctor or the literature.
