Report
Description
Report Description
Sterol ester is created when sterol and a fatty acid are synthesised (esterification). Sterol
ester is a heterogeneous chemical compound found in small amounts in every cell type.
Phytosterols is a collective term for plant-derived sterols and stanols that are found in the
fatty tissues of plants.
Esterification of plant sterols and fatty acids leads to the formation of plant sterol ester.
The proportion of the phytosterol strength is approximately 60% by weight of the ester
and 40% by weight of fatty acids.
Commercially, phytosterols are synthesised from vegetable oils, such as sunflower oil,
soybean oil, and oilseed rape. The phytosterols and phytostanols are esterified through
trans-esterification and direct esterification.
Plant sterol esters are widely used as ingredients in food and beverage sector, as there
are no regulatory barriers impeding their incorporation. They are Generally Recognized
As Safe (GRAS) as per the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Also, as per the
European Union Scientific Committee, plant sterol ester margarines and dairy products
are safe for human consumption.
