What Are Phytosterols?
Vegetable oil is one of the foods rich in plant sterols, and the plant sterols in corn oil are higher. This product is a white powder, and can also be dissolved in oil in the form of an ester. Phytosterols are classified into 4-methylsterol-free, 4-methylsterol, and 4,4'-dimethylsterol. The methyl-free sterols mainly include -sitosterol, stigmasterol, campesterol, and rapeseed sterol. The structure of phytosterols, which are mainly present in the seeds of plants, is basically similar to the structure of animal sterols. The only difference is the number of methyl groups attached at c-4 and the side chains at c-11. These are the side chains. The slight difference makes it have different physiological functions.

- 1. Phytosterols have strong anti-inflammatory effects on the human body, and can inhibit the body's absorption of cholesterol, promote the degradation and metabolism of cholesterol, and inhibit the biochemical synthesis of cholesterol.
- 2. It is used to prevent and treat coronary heart disease, and to treat ulcer, skin squamous cell carcinoma and cervical cancer.
- 1. Studies show that normal people consume 1.3 grams of phytosterols daily, and with a reasonable diet, they can improve
- 1. Phytosterols play an effective role in maintaining the body
- Phytosterols have been hailed by scientists as "the key to life". The World Heart Organization, the American Heart Association,

- Arowana is the first to launch a new generation of corn oil rich in 10,000 ppm plant sterols. Hair corn oil is one of the foods rich in plant sterols, but after refining, there will be a certain loss. Arowana promotes "moderate refining" through research and development based on consumer interests, and adds appropriate amounts of plant sterols to retain more Phytosterol, Vitamin E and other healthful ingredients. As the first edible oil brand to launch plant sterol corn oil on the market, arowana plant sterol corn oil has a plant sterol content of 10,000 ppm, which has been restored to almost the same content as natural wool corn oil.
