Phytosterols Market
REPORT DESCRIPTION
Phytosterols are steroid compounds and are very similar to cholesterol. They are found in plants and are
naturally present in oils, pulses, and dried fruits. They can’t be synthesized by animals and humans and
this is why they need to be a part of human diet. Phytosterols comprise a chemical structure just like
cholesterol, but phytosterols’ absorption in the human body is much less as compared to cholesterol. In
terms of application, the global phytosterols market is segmented into pharmaceuticals, food ingredients,
and cosmetics. They are broadly utilized as food additives in various beverages and foods, such as
sausages, yoghurt, milk, bakery products, cold cuts, spreads, margarines, etc.
Consumer Awareness on Health Benefits of Phytosterols to Boost Global Phytosterols Market
There are a number of factors accelerating the demand for phytosterols, such as the increasing occurrence
of deaths owing to cardiovascular diseases, particularly in emerging regions such as Asia Pacific. In
addition, consumer awareness on health and wellness and resultant inclination towards a healthy lifestyle
is further stimulating the demand for phytosterols. The favorable regulatory scenario in several countries is
also promoting their utilization within nutraceuticals and functional food and this is predicted to have a
positive impact on the phytosterols market in the coming years....
