COMPOSITION WITH PHYTOSTEROLS OF HIGH BIOAVAILABILITY Russian patent published in 2013 - IPC A23L1/30 A61K9/14 A61K9/16 A61K31/575 A61K47/14 A61P3/10 

FIELD: chemistry.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to compositions enriched with phytosterols. The method of producing porous microparticles containing phytosterols involves preparation of a homogeneous melt of a composition containing a phytosterol component and a component selected from at least one C10-C26 fatty acid, monoglyceride of a C10-C26 fatty acid and/or a metal salt and a C10-C26 fatty acid; hardening the obtained melt to form a solid amorphous substance; treating the obtained solid amorphous substance in a fine powder; mixing the obtained powder in an aqueous phase; separating the porous microparticles from the aqueous phase and drying the porous microparticles. The obtained porous microparticles are used to produce a pharmaceutical composition for reducing blood cholesterol level in mammals and for making a food product rich in phytosterols. The porous microparticles are also used in granulate form.

EFFECT: invention enables to obtain a composition of phytosterols with high bioavailability and long storage life.
