- Abstract
The latest research progress of phytosterols( esters) has been summarized, including synthetic methods, functions, related physicochemical modification and applications, with emphasis on the applications in cosmetics. The synthetic methods of phytosterol esters mainly include chemical catalytic method, ionic liquid catalytic method, solvent-free direct esterification and biological enzyme catalytic method. Biological enzyme catalytic method is the current focus of academic research, and it is expected to gradually replace chemical catalytic method in industrial production to become the mainstream method. Meanwhile, phytosterols have the functions of reducing cholesterol, antioxidation, anti-cancer, anti-inflammation, skin barrier repair and anti-bacteria. Phytosterols have various modification means such as esterification, emulsification, microencapsulation, nano-carrier, ethoxylation and polyethylene glycol modification. Therefore, they have been widely used in cosmetic industry, as well as in food, health care, pharmaceuticals, agriculture and livestock industry. Particularly, phytosterol oleate is developing rapidly.
