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

RSC Advances, 2021
Herein, we have developed a simple chemical method toward efficient preparation of phytosterol linoleic acid esters through esterification at very mild temperature (60 °C) using 4-dodecylbenzenesulfonic acid (DBSA) as the catalyst.

Skin Improvement Effects of Phytosterol Ester Derived from Rice Bran

Journal of Food Science and Nutrition Research, 2022
Rice bran contains an abundance of phytosterols. We have developed “Riceterol EsterTM” (RSE), which consists of a phytosterol ester and fatty acids made from the by-product of extracting oil from rice bran. RSE has been registered as a cosmetic ingredient in rice bran-derived products, and its physical functions, such as its high water retention and ...

Phytosterols and fatty acids, but not phytosterol esters, affect cholesterol micellarization in vitro

The FASEB Journal, 2010
The mechanisms by which consumption of phytosterols and their fatty acyl esters decreases LDL cholesterol, an atherosclerotic risk factor, are incompletely characterized. To test the hypothesis that phytosterols, phytosterol esters, and simulated hydrolysis products of the esters differentially affect ...

Phytosterol organic acid esters: Characterization, anti-inflammatory properties and a delivery strategy to improve mitochondrial function

Current Research in Food Science
Phytosterol organic acid esters are important food resources and the components of biomembrane structure. Due to the lack of extraction and synthesis techniques, more research has been focused on phytosterols, and the research on phytosterol acid esters ...

Biosynthesis of Phytosterol Esters: Identification of a Sterol O-Acyltransferase in Arabidopsis [PDF]

Plant Physiology, 2007
Fatty acyl esters of phytosterols are a major form of sterol conjugates distributed in many parts of plants. In this study we report an Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) gene, AtSAT1 (At3g51970), which encodes for a novel sterol O-acyltransferase. When expressed in yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae), AtSAT1 mediated production of sterol esters enriched ...

Encapsulation of phytosterols and phytosterol esters in liposomes made with soy phospholipids by high pressure homogenization

Planta Medica International Open, 2018
Phytosterols and phytosterol esters were encapsulated within large unilamellar liposomes prepared with soy phospholipids using a microfluidizer. The average particle diameter of these liposomal vesicles increased with increasing amounts of encapsulated phytosterols, especially with increasing free sterol content.

Enhancement of technofunctional properties of chickpea flour through composite blending with teff and proso millet

Food Biomacromolecules, EarlyView.
Abstract The increasing demand for nutritionally rich and gluten‐free foods has intensified research interest in underutilized cereals and legumes as an alternative to conventional wheat‐based flours. The study aims to investigate the potential of developing composite flours from proso millet (Panicum miliaceum), teff (Eragrostis tef), and chickpea ...
