Phytosterols: to be or not to be toxic; that is the question [PDF]

British Journal of Nutrition, 2008
Plant sterols (phytosterols) are membrane constituents of all plants with a structure analogous to that of cholesterol. Thus, phytosterols have either an additional methyl or ethyl group on the carbon-24 position or an additional double bond in the side chain (1) .

Polar Lipid and Fatty Acid Profiles of Oat Groats Substantially Influenced by Field Management: A Comparison of Cultivars, Sowing Times and Fertilizer Composition

Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The polar lipids in oat grains are crucial due to their biological functions, nutritional quality, potential use in food flavour and processing, the protection they provide against biotic and abiotic stresses, and their ability to act as cellular signalling molecules.

Differentiation of Plant and Animal‐Derived Cholesterol Using irm‐13C NMR and IRMS

Magnetic Resonance in Chemistry, Volume 64, Issue 8, Page 701-708, August 2026.
Determining and certifying the origin of ingredients, starting materials, and excipients used in manufactured goods like cosmetics and medicines can be difficult. In this report, we describe a robust approach for identifying the origin of cholesterol, a component of myriad consumer products using irm‐13C NMR and IRMS to differentiate plant versus ...

Exploring the Application of Waxes and Their Mixtures Oleogels in Ice Cream

Journal of the American Oil Chemists' Society, Volume 103, Issue 7, Page 719-728, July 2026.
ABSTRACT The objective of this work was to produce ice cream using waxes oleogels, aiming to improve its nutritional value while maintaining its physical‐chemistry characteristics. Five ice cream formulations were manufactured using (1) milk fat, (2) canola oil, and (3–5) canola oil‐oleogels. The oleogels were produced with beeswax (BEW), carnauba wax (

Natural Dietary Phytosterols

Journal of AOAC INTERNATIONAL, 2015
Abstract Most clinical phytosterol studies are performed by adding purified supplements to smaller phytosterol amounts present in the natural diet. However, natural dietary phytosterols themselves may also have important effects on cholesterol metabolism. Epidemiological work using food frequency questionnaires to estimate dietary intake
