Natural Phytosterol Ester – Fat-Soluble Bulk for Margarine, Spreads & Ice Cream
Light yellow oily paste, engineered for fat-based food systems.
Product Overview
HERSONCARE Natural Phytosterol Ester is a plant-derived sterol ester supplied as a light yellow oily paste for fat-based foods, produced by esterifying non-GMO soybean, rapeseed and sunflower phytosterols with food-grade fatty acids. Esterification is the whole point of this product: it raises sterol solubility in fats roughly 10–20 times versus free phytosterols, which otherwise crystallise out of lipid systems and cause grittiness. That is why phytosterol ester — not free sterol — is the practical choice for margarine, spreads and ice cream, where the ingredient must stay dissolved through processing, storage and cold chain. In the body the ester is hydrolysed, releasing free sterols that compete with cholesterol for intestinal micelle uptake.
