Albany, NY -- (SBWIRE) -- 10/01/2015 -- Phytosterols include plant sterols and plant stanols. Saturated sterols which lack a double bond in the sterol ring are called stanols. Chemically, phytosterols resemble cholesterol but the distinctive factor between the two is the level of absorption in the blood stream. Cholesterols are absorbed in the blood stream, which raises the cholesterol level in the human body, thus increasing the chances of coronary heart diseases. Phytosterols, on the other hand are not absorbed by the body due to the resemblance in the chemical structure, phytosterols block cholesterol from being absorbed by the blood, thus reducing the triglyceride levels in the body. Phytosterols are found exclusively in the fatty tissue of plants. They are widely used as food additives in sausages, beverages, bakery products and several others. A large number of commercial products which includes both finished products and raw materials contain phytosterols in various proportions.

Factors such as the increasing coronary heart diseases among people in the developed regions such as Europe and North America are driving the global phytosterols market. Phytosterols act as blockages for cholesterol and prevent the absorption of cholesterol in the blood stream. This reduces the level of triglycerides in the human body which in turn reduces the chances of coronary heart diseases. Regulating bodies approving the usage of phtyosterols in food ingredients is another factor fuelling the demand for the global phytosterols market. Variety of end user applications of phytosterols which includes food ingredients and pharmaceutical items and the health benefits are expected to propel the demand for phytosterols globally.
Lack of awareness about the health benefits offered by phytosterols in the developing regions such as Asia-Pacific and Middle East is a major factor impeding the growth of the global phytosterols market. Moreover, lack of support from the government regarding the promotion of phytosterols as a part of the consumer's healthy diet is contributing to the low consumer awareness about the health benefits offered by phytosterols. In addition, the availability of similar functional products such as omega 3 fatty acids (EPA/DHA) is another factor inhibiting the growth of the global phytosterols market. The growth rate of omega 3 fatty acids is more compared to phytosterols due to which the manufacturers are shifting their focus to omega 3 fatty acid ingredients.
