Studies on phytosterol acetate esters and phytosterols liposomes [PDF]

Food Science and Technology, 2021
Abstract Phytosterols (PS) and phytosterol esters have been widely used in the food and health product industries as cholesterol-lowering agents. In order to improve theirs dispersity and bioavailability in low lipid media, PS and phytosterol acetate ester (PAE) were embedded into liposomes in the study.
