Abstract
As part of a safety evaluation of food enrichment, reactivity of added
components, such as phytosterols, should be studied. This experiment was
performed to study the formation of sitosterol and campesterol oxidation
products in phytosterol-enriched white wheat bread during baking and toasting.
When taking into account the quality of phytosterol preparation, i.e. the
oxide content of phytosterol preparation added to dough, the accumulation of
phytosterol oxides in baked whole bread, bread crusts and toasted bread was
very low being 0.0%, 0.3% and 0.1% for sitosterol and 0.0%, 0.4% and 0.1% for
campesterol, respectively. This study thus indicates that bread baking and
further toasting do not lead to significant phytosterol oxidation reactions.
