Abstract
BACKGROUND Phytosterols (PS) have various beneficial effects on human health, especially the property of reducing blood cholesterol. However, the low solubility and bioaccessibility of PS have greatly limited their application in functional food ingredients. RESULTS To improve the bioaccessibility and stability of PS, chitosan-coated PS nanoparticles (CS-PNP) were successfully prepared by self-assembly. The properties of CS-PNP, including size, zeta potential, encapsulation efficiency (EE) and loading amount (LA) were characterised. The optimisation of CS concentration (0.4 mg mL-1) and pH (3.5) resulted in the formation of CS-PNP with an EE of over 90% and a particle size of 187.7 nm. Due to the special properties of CS chitosan, the interaction between CS and soybean protein isolate (SPI)/lecithin (SL) led to the formation of a soluble complex. CS-PNP exhibited good stability to temperature variations but was more sensitive to salt ions. During in vitro digestion, CS efficiently maintained the stability of nanoparticles against the hydrolysis of SPI by pepsin under acidic conditions. However, these nanoparticles tended to aggregate in a neutral intestinal environment. After 3 h of in vitro digestion, the bioaccessibility of PS increased from 18.2% of free PS to 63.5% of CS-PNP. CONCLUSION Overall, these results highlight the potential of chitosan-coated nanoparticles as effective carriers for the oral administration of PS. This multilayer construction may serve as a promising for applications in food products as delivery vehicles for nutraceuticals. © 2024 Society of Chemical Industry.

Abstract
Plant sterols are minor bioactive components of food lipids, which are often used for the formulation of functional foods due to their cholesterol-lowering properties. However, they have low solubility and tend to crystallize, which may affect their biological effects, the sensory profile of the sterol-enriched food, and its consumer acceptability. Moreover, due to the unsaturated structure of sterols, they are susceptible to oxidation, so different encapsulation systems have been developed to improve their dispersibility/solubility, stability, delivery, and bioaccessibility. This chapter provides an overview of the main encapsulation systems currently used for plant sterols and their application in model and food systems, with a particular focus on their efficiency and impact on sterol bioaccessibility.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The formulation of phytosterol (PS)-enriched functional foods has attracted increasing interest in the recent years, owing to its potential health effects. However, the poor solubility and bioavailability greatly limit PS application in this regard. This study investigated whether soy protein isolate (SPI) could effectively perform as a nanocarrier for improving the water solubility, bioaccessibility, and cholesterol-lowering activity of PSs. RESULTS In this work, we fabricated SPI-PS nanocomplexes, which not only can enhance the stability and bioaccessibility of PS, but also improve the cholesterol-lowering ability of SPI. This improvement was mainly due to the formation of protein-active substance complexes, through hydrophobic interactions. The complexation with PSs resulted in formation of nanosized particles with greater sizes, lower ζ-potential, and higher surface hydrophobicity. The encapsulation efficiency, loading amount, and solubility of PS were closely related to the applied PS concentration in the mixed dispersions, and the maximal PS solubility in the aqueous phase reached about 1.63 mg mL-1 at the highest PS concentration (2.0 mg mL-1 ). The PS molecules in the nanocomplexes were mainly present in the amorphous form. The enhanced in vitro cholesterol-lowering activity of PS nanocomplexes relative to free PS seemed to be closely related to its higher bioaccessibility. CONCLUSION The findings are of relevance for the development of food-grade PS ingredients suitable for the formulations of PS-enriched functional foods. © 2022 Society of Chemical Industry.

Abstract
Recently, Pickering emulsions stabilized by edible particles have attracted significant attention from the scientific community and food industry owing to their surfactant-free character. However, those edible particles are mostly used for stabilizing oil-in-water emulsions, whereas those for water-in-oil emulsions are very limited. In this article, stable water-in-oil Pickering emulsions were prepared through dispersing phytosterol particles in oil phase, and the effects of antisolvent treatment, the type of oil, particle concentration, and water fraction on the stability, type, and morphology of these emulsions were investigated. In addition, the release profile of salt as a model aqueous compound from these emulsions has also been studied. Results showed that due to its higher water content, the antisolvent pretreatment of phytosterol in the ethanol/water system facilitated the dispersion of dried phytosterol particles into oil phase as microcrystals. Water-in-oil Pickering emulsions with droplet sizes of 80-100 μm were fabricated at phytosterol concentrations of 1.5-3% w/v and water fractions of 0.2-0.6. The dissolved phytosterol molecules in oil phase could help in emulsion stabilization through interfacial crystallization during emulsification, evidenced by polar microscopic observations. Moreover, the salt release from phytosterol-stabilized Pickering emulsions showed a temperature-dependent profile which could have potential application in a controlled-release system. The current study provided important information for fabrication of stable water-in-oil emulsion using natural particles.

Abstract
For improving solubility and bioaccessibility of phytosterols (PS), phytosterol nanoparticles (PNPs) were prepared by emulsification–evaporation combined high-pressure homogenization method. The organic phase was formed with the dissolved PS and soybean lecithin (SL) in anhydrous ethanol, then mixed with soy protein isolate (SPI) solution, and homogenized into nanoparticles, followed by the evaporation of ethanol. The optimum fabrication conditions were determined as PS (1%, w/v): SL of 1:4, SPI content of 0.75% (w/v), and ethanol volume of 16 ml. PNPs were characterized to have average particle size 93.35 nm, polydispersity index (PDI) 0.179, zeta potential −29.3 mV, and encapsulation efficiency (EE) 97.3%. The impact of temperature, pH, and ionic strength on the stability of fabricated PNPs was determined. After 3-h in vitro digestion, the bioaccessibility of PS in nanoparticles reached 70.8%, significantly higher than the 18.2% of raw PS. Upon freeze-drying, the particle size of PNPs increased to 199.1 nm, resulting in a bimodal distribution. The solubility of PS in water could reach up to 2.122 mg/ml, ~155 times higher than that of raw PS. Therefore, this study contributes to the development of functional PS-food ingredients.

Abstract
Sodium caseinate (SC)/dextran conjugates were prepared via Maillard reaction under controlled dry-heating conditions. Moreover, the nanoparticles of phytosterols (PS) encapsulated by SC or SC/dextran were produced using the emulsion evaporation method. The encapsulation efficiency (78.81 ± 5.22%) of PS in SC/dextran nanoparticles was higher than that (73.5 ± 2.78%) in SC nanoparticles. Compared with the compact and dense structure of SC nanoparticles, SC/dextran nanoparticles existed as relatively loose aggregates. The result of differential scanning calorimetry demonstrated that the encapsulation of PS greatly decreased its crystallinity. The released rates of PS from SC and SC/dextran nanoparticles under acidic gastric conditions were 8.59% and 4.73%, respectively. After 7 h of intestinal digestion, the released rate (52.19%) of PS from SC/dextran nanoparticles was significantly higher than that from SC (32.67%) nanoparticles. Therefore, SC/dextran conjugates prepared by the Maillard reaction are more suitable to be used as wall material for the nano-encapsulation of PS.

Abstract
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a degenerative brain disorder characterized by a progressive decline in memory and cognition, mostly affecting the elderly. Numerous functional bioactives have been reported in marine organisms, and anti-Alzheimer's agents derived from marine resources have gained attention as a promising approach to treat AD pathogenesis. Marine sterols have been investigated for several health benefits, including anti-cancer, anti-obesity, anti-diabetes, anti-aging, and anti-Alzheimer's activities, owing to their anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. Marine sterols interact with various proteins and enzymes participating via diverse cellular systems such as apoptosis, the antioxidant defense system, immune response, and cholesterol homeostasis. Here, we briefly overview the potential of marine sterols against the pathology of AD and provide an insight into their pharmacological mechanisms. We also highlight technological advances that may lead to the potential application of marine sterols in the prevention and therapy of AD.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Phytostanols are naturally occurring compounds that reduce blood cholesterol levels significantly. However, their aqueous insolubility poses formulation challenges. AIM To formulate and characterize solid lipid nanoparticle carriers for phytostanol esters to enhance the bioavailability of phytostanols. METHODS Phytostanol ester solid lipid nanoparticles were formulated by the microemulsion method. They were characterized for particle size distribution, polydispersity index, shape, surface charge, entrapment efficiency, stability, chemical structure, and thermal properties. The uptake of the formulation by cell lines, HepG2 and HT-29, and its effect on cell viability were evaluated. RESULTS The formulation of solid lipid nanoparticles was successfully optimised by varying the type of lipids and their concentration relative to that of surfactants in the present study. The optimised formulation had an average diameter of (171 ± 9) nm, a negative surface charge of (-23.0 ± 0.8) mV and was generally spherical in shape. We report high levels of drug entrapment at (89 ± 5)% in amorphous form, drug loading of (9.1 ± 0.5)%, nanoparticle yield of (67 ± 4)% and drug excipient compatibility. The biological safety and uptake of the formulations were demonstrated on hepatic and intestinal cell lines. CONCLUSION Phytostanol ester solid lipid nanoparticles were successfully formulated and characterized. The formulation has the potential to provide an innovative drug delivery system for phytostanols which reduce cholesterol and have a potentially ideal safety profile. This can contribute to better management of one of the main risk factors of cardiovascular diseases.

Abstract
In this study, stigmasterol was nanoencapsulated in soy protein isolate -pectin-based nanodispersions. Based on the particle size and zeta-potential, the optimal pectin/SPI ratio of stigmasterol nanodispersion was determined to be 1:10. At this ratio, nanodispersions was manufactured with an average particle size of 477 ± 33 nm, an encapsulation efficiency of 89.37%, and a loading amount of 17.87%. The physical properties and morphology of the nanodispersion were investigated. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and differential scanning calorimetry analysis revealed that stigmasterol was loaded in nanodispersions successfully. The pectin, which was used to stable nanodispersion, could restrict the release of stigmasterol in the simulated gastric fluid. This experiment indicated that the presence of pectin can improve the stability of the nanodispersion and can be used to achieve controlled release of bioactive compounds.

Abstract
Nanoparticles can be prepared by several sophisticated processes but until now, it cannot be prepared by simple home cooking. Here, we report that two incidental food nanoparticles (iFNPs) consisting of proteoglycans and phytosterols were isolated from soup made from freshwater clam (Corbicula fluminea Muller), a renowned folk remedy for liver problems in China and other parts of East Asia. These two bioactive iFNPs were obtained and characterized by anionic exchange chromatography coupled with multi-angle laser light scattering measurement. Their hydrodynamic diameters and ζ-potentials were 50 ± 0.2 nm and -28.0 mV and 67 ± 0.4 nm and -9.96 mV, respectively. FT-IR revealed that the proteoglycans in the particles contained α-type heteropolysaccharides. Both iFNPs were resistant to pH changes and separation by mechanical force but responsive to temperature changes. They effectively inhibited cholesterol uptake in vitro, which resonates with the traditional belief that freshwater clam soup provides hepatoprotective benefits. This study suggests that these two proteoglycan-lipid iFNPs are the active moieties and offers a supramolecular structure-based approach to study the function of such complex matrices derived from food.

[PMID: 33341050 DOI: 10.1016/j.biopha.2020.111109] [Citation(s) in RCA: 17] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/27/2020] [Revised: 11/29/2020] [Accepted: 12/04/2020] [Indexed: 12/15/2022] Open
Abstract
Cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL) is a neglected tropical skin disease caused by the protozoan genus Leishmania. The treatment is restricted to a handful number of drugs that exhibit toxic effects, limited efficacy, and drug resistance. Additionally, developing an effective topical treatment is still an enormous unmet medical challenge. Natural oils, e.g. the oleoresin from P. emarginatus fruits (SO), contain various bioactive molecules, especially terpenoid compounds such as diterpenes and sesquiterpenes. However, its use in topical formulations can be impaired due to the natural barrier of the skin for low water solubility compounds. Nanoemulsions (NE) are drug delivery systems able to increase penetration of lipophilic compounds throughout the skin, improving their topical effect. In this context, we propose the use of SO-containing NE (SO-NE) for CL treatment. The SO-NE was produced by a low energy method and presented suitable physicochemical characteristic: average diameter and polydispersity index lower than 180 nm and 0.2, respectively. Leishmania (Leishmania) amazonensis-infected BALB/c mice were given topical doses of SO or SO-NE. The topical use of a combination of SO-NE and intraperitoneal meglumine antimoniate reduced lesion size by 41 % and tissue regeneration was proven by histopathological analyses. In addition, a reduction in the parasitic load and decreased in the level of IFN-γ in the lesion may be associated, as well as a lower level of the cytokine IL-10 may be associated with a less intense inflammatory process. The present study suggests that SO-NE in combination meglumine antimoniate represents a promising alternative for the topical treatment of CL caused by L. (L.) amazonensis.

Abstract
Water-in-oil (W/O) Pickering emulsions were successfully synthesized by water-dispersible phytosterol (PS) particles formed through simple antisolvent precipitation. The effects of the organic/aqueous ratio on the particle morphology, crystallinity, and contact angle were investigated. Sheet-like PS particles with reduced crystallinity were further used as W/O Pickering emulsion stabilizers. The properties of the formed W/O emulsions could be transformed by changing the oil type, water-phase fraction, or particle contents. Results showed that emulsions with 80% water fraction could be stabilized by 3% particles in the aqueous phase, where dodecane was used as the oil phase. W/O Pickering emulsions stabilized by PS particles showed temperature responsiveness. When dried, PS particles could be well dispersed either in the water or oil phase to stabilize W/O Pickering emulsions. Therefore, this kind of PS particles could not only enrich the family of food-grade Pickering stabilizers, especially the W/O type, but also provide a smart Pickering stabilizer to fabricate environmental-responsive emulsion products.

Abstract
Hypercholesterolemia, which is an increase in total and low-density lipoprotein (LDL) serum cholesterol, is an important risk factor for the development of cardiovascular diseases. Lifestyle modifications underpin any action plan for reducing serum cholesterol. Phytosterols are natural compounds belonging to the triterpenes family. Thanks to their structural analogy with cholesterol, phytosterols have the ability to reduce serum LDL-cholesterol levels. Phytosterols are used to enrich or fortify a broad spectrum of food products. Like unsaturated fatty acids and cholesterol, phytosterols are easily oxidized. Microencapsulation could be a useful tool to overcome this and other drawbacks linked to the use of phytosterols in food fortification. In this review, in addition to explaining the phytosterols’ mechanisms of action, a focus on the use of free and encapsulated phytosterols for the formulation of functional foods, taking also into account both technological and legislative issues, is given.

Abstract
Phytosterols are natural health-promoting bioactive compounds; however, phytosterols have very limited bioavailability due to their crystalline lipophilic structure. With the aim of improving bioaccessibility, low-crystallinity phytosterol nanoparticles were generated by supercritical carbon dioxide (SC-CO2 ) impregnation of phytosterols into nanoporous starch aerogels (NSAs). The in vitro bioaccessibility of the phytosterol nanoparticles (35%) was significantly higher than that of the crude phytosterols (3%) after sequential oral, gastric, and intestinal digestion. The percentages of starch hydrolysis were not different among the various NSA preparations and reached to 64% after sequential digestion. The zeta potential of the phytosterol nanoparticles was higher compared to that of crude phytosterols in the micellar phase; indicating higher stability. The findings of this study support the use of NSA to produce nanoparticles of reduced crystallinity to improve the bioaccessibility of the lipophilic bioactive compounds. PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS: This novel process can decrease the size and crystallinity of phytosterols and thus improve phytosterols' bioavailability. It is a blueprint to apply to other water insoluble food bioactives. This novel approach may (i) improve the health benefits of water-insoluble bioactives; (ii) enable food manufacturers to add water-insoluble bioactives into low- and high-fat foods to produce health-promoting foods; and (iii) enhance the cost-benefit ratio of water insoluble bioactives.

Abstract
The aim of this work was to produce a series of phytosteryl amino acid ester hydrochlorides by a two-step method, which involved esterification of phytosterols with N- tert-butoxycarbonyl (BOC) amino acid and deprotection of the BOC group. The highest yield of over 95.0% was obtained when the catalysts were the mixtures of 1-ethyl-3-(3-(dimethylamino)propyl)carbodiimide hydrochlide, 4-dimethylaminopyridine, and triethylamine. It was found that batch charging of the reactants and catalysts was conducive to improving the yield. In addition, over 99.0% of the BOC group deprotection degree was achieved using the HCl/ethyl acetate deprotection method. All of the compounds were characterized by fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, mass spectroscopy, and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. The emulsifying properties of phytosterols and phytosteryl amino acid ester hydrochlorides were also investigated. The results showed higher emulsifying properties of phytosteryl amino acid ester hydrochlorides, which could favor its wide application in food systems.

Abstract
Phytosterols (PS), that is vegetable sterols, are compounds widely recognized for lowering
the absorption of cholesterol and decreasing cancer risk, with βsitosterol, stigmasterol and campesterol
being the most abundant. As PS is poorly soluble in aqueous solutions, many approaches have been
proposed to increase their solubility and bioavailability. β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) could be used to increase
PS aqueous solubility because of its capacity to entrap a variety of hydrophobic guest molecules
in its cavity. In this work, the formation of β-CD/PS inclusion complexes was confirmed by Differential
Scanning Calorimetry (DSC), Electrospray Ionization-High Resolution Mass Spectrometry (ESIHRMS)
and Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FT-IR), while structural characteristics were
determined by one- and two-dimensional Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) techniques. Results
confirmed 1:1 binding stoichiometry, which suggests the total inclusion of rings and chains of the different
PS. The hypothesis of folding of the lateral chains into the cavity may be supported by the multiple
correlations observed in the Nuclear Overhauser Effect Spectroscopy (NOESY) and rotatingframe
Nuclear Overhauser Effect Spectroscopy (ROESY) spectra.

Abstract
β-Sitosterol (Sit) has been used as a functional food additive. Among its many beneficial effects, this phytosterol plays a role in controlling obesity by inhibiting the adipogenesis process of pre-adipocytes. However, the highly lipophilic character of Sit limits its bioavailability. In the present study, 2-hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin (HP-β-CD) was used to form a complex with Sit, namely the Sit-HP-β-CD inclusion complex, and the inhibitory effect of this complex on adipogenesis in the 3T3-L1 pre-adipocyte cell line was investigated. The results of DSC, TLC, 1H NMR spectroscopy, and 2D ROESY showed that the Sit-HP-β-CD inclusion complex was successfully synthesized. In addition, the inhibitory effect of the Sit-HP-β-CD inclusion complex on adipogenesis was evaluated using the Oil Red O staining method and western blot analysis after a 14-day adipogenesis induction in 3T3-L1 pre-adipocytes. The results showed that the Sit-HP-β-CD inclusion complex had a higher efficiency than Sit in reducing intracellular lipid accumulation and the expression levels of PPARγ and FAS in 3T3-L1 cells, suggesting that the inhibitory effect on adipogenesis was improved by the formation of the Sit and HP-β-CD complex.

Abstract
Monogeneans are ectoparasites that may cause losses in production and productivity in the aquaculture of Colossoma macropomum. Chemotherapeutics used in aquaculture usually have major adverse effects on fish; hence, the use of essential oils has been considered advantageous, but these are not soluble in water. Thus, the use of nanostructures to enhance water solubility of compounds and improve bioactivity may be very promising. This study investigated the antiparasitic activity of nanoemulsion prepared with Copaifera officinalis oleoresin (50, 100, 150, 200 and 300 mg/L), against monogenean parasites from the gills of C. macropomum. The particle size distribution and zeta potential suggested that a potentially kinetic stable system was generated. The nanoemulsion from C. officinalis oleoresin achieved high efficacy (100%) at low concentrations (200 and 300 mg/L) after 15 min of exposure. This was the first time that a nanoemulsion was generated from C. officinalis oleoresin using a solvent-free, non-heating and low-energy method. Moreover, this was the first time that an antiparasitic against monogeneans on fish gills, based on nanoemulsion of C. officinalis oleoresin, was tested.

Abstract
Phytocompounds have been used in medicine for decades owing to their potential in anti-inflammatory applications. However, major difficulties in achieving sustained delivery of phyto-based drugs are related to their low solubility and cell penetration, and high instability. To overcome these disadvantages, nanosized delivery technologies are currently in use for sustained and enhanced delivery of phyto-derived bioactive compounds in the pharmaceutical sector. This review focuses on the recent advances in nanocarrier-mediated drug delivery of bioactive molecules of plant origin in the field of anti-inflammatory research. In particular, special attention is paid to the relationship between structure and properties of the nanocarrier and phytodrug release behavior.

Abstract
Pterodon emarginatus Vogel is a Brazilian species that belongs to the family Fabaceae, popularly known as sucupira. Its oil has several biological activities, including potent larvicidal property against Aedes aegypti. This insect is the vector of dengue, a tropical disease that has been considered a critical health problem in developing countries, such as Brazil. Most of dengue control methods involve larvicidal agents suspended or diluted in water and making active lipophilic natural products available is therefore considered a technological challenge. In this context, nanoemulsions appear as viable alternatives to solve this major problem. The present study describes the development of a novel nanoemulsion with larvicidal activity against A. aegypti along with the required Hydrophile Lipophile Balance determination of this oil. It was suggested that the mechanism of action might involve reversible inhibition of acetylcholinesterase and our results also suggest that the P. emarginatus nanoemulsion is not toxic for mammals. Thus, it contributes significantly to alternative integrative practices of dengue control, as well as to develop sucupira based nanoproducts for application in aqueous media.

Abstract
Water-insoluble phytosterols were developed into a kind of colloidal particle as Pickering stabilizers for emulsions by a classic anti-solvent method using 100% ethanol as the organic phase to solubilize the phytosterols and whey protein concentrate (WPC) as the emulsifier. The colloidal particles in the dispersion, with morphology of stacked platelet-like sheets, had a mean diameter of 44.7 and 24.7 μm for the volume- and surface-averaged sizes, respectively. The properties and stability of the emulsions stabilized by these colloidal particles were highly dependent upon the applied total solid concentration (c; in the dispersion) and oil fraction (ø). The results indicated that (1) at a low c value (<1.0%, w/v) the emulsions were susceptible to phase separation, even at a low ø of 0.2, (2) at low ø values (e.g., 0.2 or 0.3) and a relatively high c value (1.0%, w/v, or above), a severe droplet flocculation occurred for the emulsions, and (3) when both c and ø were appropriately high, a kind of self-supporting gel-like emulsions could be formed. More interestingly, a phase inversion of the emulsions from the oil-in-water to water-in-oil type was observed, upon the ø increasing from 0.2 to 0.6 (especially at high c values, e.g., 3.0%, w/v). The elaborated Pickering emulsions stabilized by the phytosterol colloidal particles with a gel-like behavior would provide a candidate to act as a novel delivery system for active ingredients.

Abstract
Aspergillus niger CTBU isolated from local decayed bamboo shoot residue was employed to solid-state fermentation (SSF) of bamboo shoot residue to elevate the content of phytosterols. Strain acclimatization was carried out under the fermentation condition using bamboo shoot as substrate for fermentation performance improvement. The optimal fermentation temperature and nitrogen level were investigated using acclimatized strain, and SSF was carried out in a 500-ml Erlenmeyer flask feeding 300-mg bamboo shoot residue chips under the optimal condition (33 °C and feeding 4 % urea), and 1,186 mg (100 g)(-1) of total phytosterol was attained after 5-day fermentation, in comparison, only 523 mg (100 g)(-1) of phytosterol was assayed in fresh shoots residue. HPLC analysis of the main composition of total phytosterols displays that the types of phytosterols and composition ratio of main sterols keep steady. This laboratorial scale SSF unit could be scaled up for raw phytosterols production from discarded bamboo shoot residue and could reduce its cost.

Abstract
The effects of solvents with different log P values, and of lipases on the synthesis of water-soluble plant stanol derivatives were investigated. Results showed that conversion in solvents with log P<0.37 was mainly controlled by the hydrophobicity of the solvent and subsequent complete or partial deactivation of the enzyme. The solubility of substrate was the leading factor for the conversion in solvents with log P>0.37. Lipozyme RM IM and tert-butanol was the most suitable biocatalyst and solvent, respectively. The highest yield (>51%) of plant stanyl sorbitol succinate was obtained under the selected conditions: 50 μmol/mL plant stanyl hemisuccinate, 1:3 molar ratio of plant stanyl hemisuccinate to d-sorbitol, 80 mg/mL 3 Å molecular sieves and 100mg/mL Lipozyme RM IM in tert-butanol, 150 r/min and 55 °C. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, mass spectroscopy and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy were adopted to determine the structure of product, suggesting that water-soluble plant stanol derivatives were successfully synthesized.
