“…Two ways of hydrolyzing are always available: high-temperature and high-pressure hydrolysis and alkali hydrolysis. The latter is more commonly used because of mild conditions, and this method allows simultaneous hydrolysis and saponification [ 14 ].There are conventional and nonconventional extraction techniques in phytosterols extraction [ 15 ]. The conventional techniques, such as soxhlet extraction, maceration [ 14 ], cold press [ 16 ], and screw pressing [ 17 ], are used for extraction of phytosterols.…”

“…Among them, soxhlet extraction and cold press extraction are used commonly [ 18 ]. Due to the many limitations of conventional extraction methods, people have introduced the nonconventional techniques to overcome these limitations [ 16 ]; the nonconventional techniques include supercritical fluid extraction, enzymatic extraction, solid phase extraction, direct hydrolysis extraction, microwave-assisted hydrodistillation, silica gel adsorption, and ultrasound-assisted extraction [ 14 , 15 , 19 ].…”

“…Phytosterols have many applications in food, for example, they can be used in order to develop nutraceuticals and functional foods with the potential to lower cholesterol levels, as natural antioxidants, and as fat substitutes [ 15 ]. Poulose et al [ 116 ] extracted phytosterols from a seaweed and further nano-emulsified the stigmasterol and incorporated it into biscuits; the product was acceptable with good sensory and quality characteristics.…”

Dietary intake of natural substances to regulate physiological functions is currently regarded as a potential way of promoting health. As one of the recommended dietary ingredients, phytosterols that are natural bioactive compounds distributed in plants have received increasing attention for their health effects. Phytosterols have attracted great attention from scientists because of many physiological functions, for example, cholesterol-lowering, anticancer, anti-inflammatory, and immunomodulatory effects. In addition, the physiological functions of phytosterols, the purification, structure analysis, synthesis, and food application of phytosterols have been widely studied. Nowadays, many bioactivities of phytosterols have been assessed in vivo and in vitro. However, the mechanisms of their pharmacological activities are not yet fully understood, and in-depth investigation of the relationship between structure and function is crucial. Therefore, a contemporaneous overview of the extraction, beneficial properties, and the mechanisms, as well as the current states of phytosterol application, in the food field of phytosterols is provided in this review.

The marine ecosystem is a vast source of diversified biota that includes more than half of the world’s biota including marine microorganisms; algae, invertebrates, and fish. Most of these organisms constitute complex biomolecules, allowing, them to thrive under extreme environmental conditions. These biomolecules are proteins, lipids, polysaccharides, phenolics, peptides, etc. perform various biological functions depending on the source. In addition to the basic functions, they also exhibit diverse functional properties such as antimicrobial, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anticoagulant, antidiabetic and antihypertensive properties etc., which make them potential candidates for application in the food and pharmaceutical industry. The marine microalgae and cyanobacteria are a very rich source of these functional molecules with several biological applications related with health benefits and food applications. The viewpoint details the potential and bioactive compound profile of marine micro algae, extraction and characterization of bioactive compounds from marine micro algae and its application in the food industry.
