Global Phytosterols Market 2017-2021

About Phytosterols

Phytosterols are a group of naturally occurring sterol compounds found in plant cell membranes. These substances are important constituents of the plant cell membrane. Phytosterols are of two forms: sterols and stanols. Sterols are the free forms and are commonly found. Stanols are the esterified form of phytosterols; they are usually synthesized from natural sources. Commercially, phytosterols are mainly isolated from two sources, from vegetable oils such as soybean oil, sunflower oil, rapeseed (canola) oil, or corn oil and from "tall oil," a byproduct of wood pulp manufacture. Each commercial source has its characteristic composition.
