Active Phytochemicals

1. Triacylglycerol
A Triglyceride (TG , Triacylglycerol, TAG OR Triacylglyceride) is an ester driver from glycerol and three fatty acids. Triglycerides are the main constituents of body fat in humans and other vertebrates, as well as vegetable fat. They are also present in the blood to enable the bidirectional transference of adipase fat and blood glucose from the liver and are a major component of human skin oils .

2.Sterol:
Sterol is an organic compound with formula C17H28O, whose molecule is derived from that of gonane by replacement of a hydrogen atom in position 3 by a hydroxyl group. It is therefore an alcohol of gonane. More generally, any compounds that contain the gonane structure, additional functional groups, and/or modified ring systems derived from gonane are called steroids.

3. Tocopherols
4. Beta-Sistosterol

5.Stigmasterol:
Stigmasterol – a plant sterol (phytosterol) – is among the most abundant of plant sterols, having a major function to maintain the structure and physiology of cell membranes. In the European Union, it is a food additive listed with E number E499, and may be used in food manufacturing to increase the phytosterol content, potentially lowering the levels of LDL cholesterol.
