Europe Plant Sterol Esters Market Segment Analysis:

By Form, The Europe plant sterol esters market is expected to be dominated by powder form plant sterols. Sitosterol, campesterol, stigmasterol, and brassicasterol make up the crystalline form, which is a nearly pure (typically 98.5%+) blend of the most prevalent phytosterols. This form melts at around 265°F and solidifies as a glassy, hard material that is water insoluble. It may dissolve up to 12%-15% of its weight in fat. To make it simpler to handle and use in food processing, certain businesses have created water-dispersible formulations. 

 

By Type, One of the most common phytosterols is stigmasterol. Soybeans, Calabar beans, and rapeseed oil are the most common sources. It is used as a food ingredient and as a nutritional supplement. Brassicasterol, a significant sterol found in canola oil, is a sterol found only in brassica oils. It is said to slow the development of atherosclerosis.

 

 

By Application, Also, by covering the product surface, these esters can create a crisp texture and hence minimize sogginess in cereal items, making them ideal for breakfast/cereal bars. Low-fat dairy products (yoghurt/drinking yoghurt) have a creamier texture thanks to phytosterol esters. They improve the taste of food by hiding bitterness in soy beverages, lowering the quantity of sugar or other sweetener needed to get a pleasing taste. Shortenings, margarine, high-fat baked goods, and even soft-serve ice cream contain plant sterol esters, which are soluble in fat by up to 12–15%. Plant sterol esters can be found in a variety of foods, including margarines, peanut butter, creams, mayonnaise, salad dressings, and sausages.
