Phytosterols present in vegetable oils are of different compositions; however, the key ones include beta-sitosterol, stigmasterol, campesterol, and brassicasterol.
Phytosterols are used in industries such as food, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and dietary supplements/nutraceuticals. Furthermore, sterols are primarily used in dairy products, sauces and dressings, beverages, bakery and confectionery, meat products, and breakfast cereals in the food industry.

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved a health claim on phytosterols, which states, 'Foods containing at least 0.65 gram per serving of vegetable oil plant sterol esters, eaten twice a day with meals for a total daily intake of at least 1.3 grams, as a part of a diet low in saturated fat and cholesterol, may reduce the risk of heart diseases." In the U.S., a variety of vegetable oil- and tall oil-based phytosterol ingredients are considered as Generally Recognized as Safe (GRAS) and they are used in a variety of food products. Their typical usage level ranges from 0.6 to 1.1 grams/serving. Phytosterols are permitted for the use in functional food ingredients in Canada.
