Phytosterols as Functional Food Ingredients

Öz

engelleyerek, kandaki toplam ve LDL kolesterol seviyelerini düşürücü etkiye sahiptirler. Bu yüzden, fitosteroller yaklaşık yarım asırdan beri kolesterol düşürücü ajanlar olarak bilinmektedirler. Fitosteroller bitkisel ürünlerde özellikle bitkisel yağlarda doğal halde bulunurlar. Normal diyetle alınan günlük fitosterol miktarı, tüketim alışkanlıkları ve gıda çeşidine bağlı olarak 170 mg’dan 360 mg’a kadar değişmektedir. Son yıllarda yapılan çalışmalar, kolesterol düşürücü etkiyi en üst seviyede oluşturan miktarın günlük 2–3 g olması gerektiğini göstermektedir. Bu seviyedeki fitosterol tüketimi, fitosterollerle zenginleştirilmiş gıda alımını gerektirmektedir
