Stanol ester is a heterogenous group of chemical compounds known to reduce the level of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol in blood when ingested. The starting material is sterols from plants. These are first hydrated to give stanol which is then esterified with a mixture of fatty acids also derived from plants.
