Background | sterol (sterol) is a kind of steroid existing in nature, but it has high application value. Because of its solid state, also known as sterol, it belongs to macromolecular alcohols. It is the main component of unsaponifiable matter in oils and fats. According to different sources, sterols can be divided into three categories, namely animal sterols, plant sterols and bacterial sterols. |
physiological function | phytosterol (sitosterol) is considered as a mild free radical scavenger, to some extent, this explains the active role of phytosterols in maintaining cell membrane stability, inhibiting inflammation, preventing and treating atherosclerosis and anticancer. Anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory effects phytosterols have the effects of anti-inflammatory, anti-infection and inhibition of bacterial and fungal reproduction, and their anti-inflammatory effects are also one of the functions discovered earlier. |
Main properties | The amphoteric character of phytosterols makes them have the ability to block and control the fluidity of reversed-phase membranes, phytosterol is mainly hydrophobic, but because of its structure with hydroxyl group, and thus has a certain hydrophilicity, the greater the side chain, the stronger the hydrophobicity of sterol, phytosterol specific gravity slightly greater than water, insoluble in water, soluble in a variety of organic solvents. |
Application | phytosterols have extensive biological functions in medicine and food science. In animal production, the scientific use of phytosterols can promote animal growth, improve body health and improve the quality of animal products, which has a positive effect on reducing breeding costs and improving economic benefits. As a kind of functional additive, phytosterol has broad application prospects in feed industry. At present, the mechanism of action, effective dosage form and dosage, absorption efficiency and application technology of phytosterols to improve animal growth and health have not been fully clarified, and a lot of and in-depth research is needed, to lay the foundation for its scientific and rational application. |
uses | β-sitosterol and β-sitosterol derivatives are widely used in medicine, food, cosmetics, feed and other industries. It has the effects of lowering cholesterol, relieving cough, eliminating phlegm, inhibiting tumor and repairing tissue. For type II hyperlipidemia, atherosclerosis and chronic bronchitis, also for early cervical cancer and skin ulcers. Large doses can appear loss of appetite, Diarrhea, gastrointestinal pain and other gastrointestinal reactions. Osteomyelitis caused by ulcers, in the original disease is not used before healing. Leg Ulcers with varicose veins of the lower extremities must be treated simultaneously. β-sitosterol has the effects of lowering cholesterol, relieving cough, eliminating phlegm, inhibiting tumor and repairing tissue. It can be used as hypolipidemic drugs for type II hyperlipidemia, atherosclerosis and chronic bronchitis, also for early cervical cancer and skin ulcers. Medical raw materials and health food. Beta-sitosterol, used to supplement the diet of mice, was found to have a significant effect on body mass accumulation. A phytosterol whose structure is very similar to cholesterol, has estrogenic activity. It inhibits proliferation (G2/M arrest), nuclear replication, and polymerization of α-tubulin and microtubules in human leukemia cells. used as hypolipidemic agent |
properties | β-sitosterol is White scale-like, needle-like crystal or crystalline powder, odorless and tasteless. Mp136-140. It is very soluble in chloroform and carbon disulfide, slightly soluble in ethanol or acetone, and insoluble in water. |
side effects | gastrointestinal reactions such as loss of appetite, Diarrhea, gastrointestinal pain may occur at large doses. Osteomyelitis caused by ulcers, in the original disease is not used before healing. Leg Ulcers with varicose veins of the lower extremities must be treated simultaneously. |

production method | with rice bran oil as raw material, the alkali soap residue is dried in an oven at a constant temperature below 80 ℃ to make the water content less than 2%, dry soap residue, small particles or powder. Methane soap residue [below 80 ℃] → dry soap residue extraction dry soap residue is added into the enamel reaction tank, and acetone (V soap residue: V acetone = 1:8) is added and stirred, the jacket distillation steam is heated, refluxed and extracted at 50-55 °c for 3-4H, cooled to 30 °c for discharge, and left to stand at 10-15 °c for 12H. The filtrate is obtained by pressure filtration. Dry soap residue [acetone] →[50-55 ℃, 3-4h] filtrate concentration, crystallization, drying the filtrate into the concentration tank, concentrated to the original volume of 1/5, to obtain concentrated liquid, the crystals were allowed to stand at room temperature for 12h and filtered to obtain a crude product, which was dried in an oven at 60 ° C. To obtain a crude product. Filtrate [concentrated] → concentrated solution [crystallized] → crude product [60 ℃]→ decolorizing and crystallizing the dried crude product. Dry the dried crude product, add 25-30 times of 95% ethanol, add hydrochloric acid for pH3-4, and heat it in water bath, after dissolving the crude product, add 10-20g/L activated carbon to micro-boil for 20min, filter while hot to obtain filtrate, and let it stand at room temperature for 12h to crystallize, the product was obtained by vacuum drying below 80 ℃. Dry crude product [decolorization] → filtrate [crystallization] → crystalline product [below 80 ℃] → finished sitosterol product. |
