Global industry analysis
The plant sterol esters market is a fast-growing industry that has witnessed tremendous growth in recent years and is expected to continue its upward trend. Plant sterols are cholesterol-like compounds found in plants and used as ingredients in functional foods, dietary supplements, and pharmaceuticals.
When sterols and fatty acids are synthesized, sterol esters (esterification) occur. Disparate chemicals known as sterol esters are present in trace amounts in nearly all cell types. Phytosterols, plant-derived sterols and stanols found in the adipose tissue of plants, are known as plant sterols. Plant sterol esters are esterification products of plant sterols and fatty acids.
The starch in phytosterols accounts for about 60% of the ester weight, while the fatty acid tail accounts for about 40%. Commercially, phytosterols are derived from vegetable oils such as canola, soybean, and sunflower. Both transesterification with methyl esters of fatty acids and direct esterification with free fatty acids are processes used to esterify phytosterols and phytostanols with fatty acids in vegetable oils. Synthesis of fatty acid methyl esters is the first step in the methyl ester process, after which fatty acid methyl esters are transesterified with phytosterols/phytostanols.

In the case of the free fatty acid pathway process, the production of free fatty acids is performed followed by esterification of free fatty acids with phytosterols/phytostanols. Plant sterol esters are used in the food industry because of their various benefits, including lowering blood cholesterol levels. It is also good for cancer patients, as studies have shown that it has the potential to prevent the development of cancers, including breast, stomach and lung cancer. Plant sterol esters are composed of antioxidants that are good for the skin and are also used in the cosmetics and personal care industries as they act as anti-aging agents for the skin.
Because there are no regulatory barriers to plant sterol esters, they are a popular ingredient in food and beverage manufacturers. It is a substance generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Additionally, according to the Scientific Committee of the European Union, plant sterol ester margarines and dairy products are safe for human consumption.
