Phytosterol and phytosterol esters:

Phytosterols, commonly referred to as plant
sterols, are plant lipids that are naturally present in vegetables, fruits and
grains. Eating foods rich in plant sterols help promote healthy blood
cholesterol levels. When plant sterols reach the digestive tract, they block
gastrointestinal absorption of dietary cholesterol into the bloodstream, thus
lowering serum cholesterol.

It is difficult to incorporate free plant
sterols into edible fats/oils because of their insolubility, whereas plant
sterols esterified to fattyacids are more fat-soluble. In intestines, most
plant sterol esters are hydrolyzed to free plant sterols again as part of the
normal digestive precess.
