Phase Behavior and Polymorphism of Saturated and Unsaturated Phytosterol Esters

Phase Behavior and Polymorphism of Saturated and Unsaturated Phytosterol Esters

This study investigated how the physicochemical characteristics of phytosterol esters are influenced by the chain length and degree of unsaturation of the fatty acid ester moiety. Saturated and unsaturated phytosterol esters (PEs) were synthesized by the esterification of different types of fatty ac...
