Modulating the physical state and functionality of phytosterols by emulsification and organogel formation: Application in a model yogurt system

The size of phytosterols crystals affects their bioactivity, with smaller crystals exerting a more competitive action against cholesterol absorption. The aim of this study was to decrease their crystal size by incorporating phytosterols in emulsion droplets along with γ-oryzanol (organogel formation...
