The purpose of this study was to prepare and characterise water-soluble phytosterol
nanodispersions for food formulation. The effects of several factors were examined: four …

The effect of four different types of sucrose fatty acid esters as nonionic emulsifiers on the
physicochemical properties of water-soluble phytosterol nanodispersions was investigated …

The development of food-grade (nano) particles as a delivery system for poorly water
soluble bioactives has recently attracted increasing attention. This work is an attempt to …

Crystalline structure of phytosterols leads to poor bioavailability and makes their
incorporation into foods challenging. Bioaccessibility of first-of-their-kind low-crystallinity …

The purpose of this study was to fabricate a water-soluble phytosterol ester (PE)
nanodispersion using emulsification-evaporation combined high-energy approaches …

The addition of phytosterols in aqueous-based food matrices is challenging because of their
poor physicochemical properties (non-water soluble and hydrophobic powder). By using …

We demonstrate the synthesis of phytosterol colloidal particles using a simple food grade
method based on antisolvent precipitation in the presence of a non-ionic surfactant. The …

Phytosterols are naturally occurring plant cell membranes, which have received greater
attention in food industries due to their potential health benefits especially lowering low …

Phytosterols can significantly reduce cholesterol levels in humans. However, their dose
response is strongly formulation dependent. Due to their insolubility in water and poor …

Background Phytosterols are naturally occurring steroid alcohols with excellent nutritional
values and wellness effects on lowering both the blood cholesterol and the ratio of the low …
