Research progress on classification, source, application of phytosterol esters, and their thermal oxidation stability

Grain & Oil Science and Technology
Phytosterol esters can effectively decrease serum cholesterol concentration in the human body and prevent cardio-cerebrovascular diseases. It was found that phytosterol esters exhibited better solubility and bioavailability than free phytosterols.
