Sterol esters having short-chained fatty acids
The invention relates to sterol fatty acid esters of average chained fatty acids, having a chain length of 8 and 10 carbon atoms in a fatty acid distribution C8 to C10 (weight ratio) from 95:5 to 5:95, preferably, fatty acid distributions of C8 to C10 (weight ratio) from 90:10 to 20:80 and in partic...

Zusammenfassung: | The invention relates to sterol fatty acid esters of average chained fatty acids, having a chain length of 8 and 10 carbon atoms in a fatty acid distribution C8 to C10 (weight ratio) from 95:5 to 5:95, preferably, fatty acid distributions of C8 to C10 (weight ratio) from 90:10 to 20:80 and in particular, distributions of the fatty acids C8 to C10 (weight ratio) from 64:36 to 50:50 or from 78:22 to 65:35, are used. Preferably, capric and/or caprylic acids are used as fatty acids. Said sterol compounds can be easily incorporated into food, in particular, into drinks and milk products based on their wettability and easy to melt properties at low temperatures without using complex equipment, and have good organolepetic and sensory properties, and improved stability in relation to commercial sterol esters having long-chained and unsaturated fatty acids. |
