Phytosterol, Tocopherol and Carotenoid Retention during Commercial Processing of Brassica napus (Canola) Oil

Processes, 2022
Brassica napus (canola) seed is a rich source of phytosterols, tocopherols and carotenoids, which all have recognized health benefits, although these are reduced or lost during crude oil refinement.

Diatoms synthesize sterols by inclusion of animal and fungal genes in the plant pathway [PDF]

, 2020
Diatoms are ubiquitous microalgae that have developed remarkable metabolic plasticity and gene diversification. Here we report the first elucidation of the complete biosynthesis of sterols in the lineage.

Solvent-free synthesis of phytosterol linoleic acid esters at low temperature

RSC Advances, 2021
Phytosterol unsaturated fatty acid esters show much higher oil solubility than free phytosterol. Thus, development of a green and low-cost method for the preparation of phytosterol fatty acid esters is highly desirable in the food industry.

Chemical Indices and Kinetic Evaluation of β-Sitosteryl Oleate Oxidation in a Model System of Bulk Oil

Molecules, 2022
Concerns have been raised about the safety and tolerability of phytosterol esters due to their vulnerability to oxidation. Herein, oxidation of the unsaturated fatty acid-phytosterol ester, namely β-sitosteryl oleate, was observed in comparison to native
