HSF Biotech has been the front-runner in the research, development and industrialization of phytosterol ester. For years, the company has been the only qualified manufacturer of phytosterol ester in China and the only one that gained authorization from ADVISORY COMMITTEE ON NOVEL FOODS AND PROCESSES for use of its phytosterols ester as a novel ingredient. Besides, the company participated in the drafting of national industry standards for phytosterol ester.
During its production of phytosterol ester, HSF Biotech uses neither solvents nor catalysts to ensure the products as “Green” as possible. With the technologies of biotransformation and low-temperature concentration separation, we are able to, on one hand, retain the bioactivity of the components to the most extent, and, on the other hand, to improve the product's stability. After years of innovation and development, we are supplying dozens of LowChol® products. Our products are present in the sectors, such as edible oils and fats, special oils, dairy products (liquid and powder), functional foods, solid beverages, cosmetics and daily personal care products.
HSF was the first in China to pass cGMP certification of Phytosterol Ester in 2021.

Brief introduction
LowChol® phytosterol ester is a kind of light yellow and viscous paste with slight characteristic vegetable oil aroma. Obtained by esterification or transesterification of free phytosterols with fatty acids from vegetable oil, LowChol®-E phytosterol ester can be converted into free sterols and fatty acids in the body.
LowChol™ phytosterol ester is a kind of light yellow and viscous paste with slight characteristic vegetable oil aroma. Obtained by esterification or transesterification of free phytosterols with fatty acids from vegetable oil, LowChol™ phytosterol ester can be converted into free sterols and fatty acids in the body.
Compared with phytosterols, phytosterol ester is easier to be absorbed by human bodies, therefore, is more accepted in food and healthcare industry. LowChol™ phytosterol ester has been certified by the ADVISORY COMMITTEE ON NOVEL FOODS AND PROCESSES as equivalent to the existing phytosterol ingredient marketed in the European market according to Article 3(4) of the Novel Food Regulation (EC) 258/97.
