  • Stabilized dispersion of phytosterol in oil
    Publication number: 20040156887
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for avoiding recrystallization of phytosterols from oil, involving use of a synergistic stabilizing combination of free fatty acids and phospholipids. A further benefit of these additives is that they allow dispersion of phytosterols in oil to be carried out at a temperature lower than the melting point of the phytosterols, thereby facilitating incorporation of phytosterols into foodstuffs and medicaments.

  • Water-dispersible encapsulated sterols
    Publication number: 20030165572
    Abstract: A method for producing a water-dispersible powder containing one or more sterols is described. This method involves creation of micelles comprising sterol and surfactant in an aqueous medium, and coating of these micelles with a mixture of starch and modified starch in a drying step. The dried powder can conveniently be added to water-based edible or drinkable formulations, thereby enabling administration of the cholesterol-lowering sterol in conjunction with a fat-restricted diet.
