Abstract:

Abstract:Lipid matrix was saponified for the purification of phytosterol oxidation products from it. Response surface
methodology was applied to optimize four process conditions based on phytosterol concentration. A mathematical model
was developed indicating the effect of the studied variables on phytosterol concentration. Results showed that the optimal
saponification parameters were addition of 40.04 mL/g of 3.22 mol/L KOH ethanol solution, 69.07 ℃ and 2.02 h. The final
product obtained under the optimized conditions contained 0.1455 mg/mL phytosterols.

Key words: lipid matrix, phytosterols, saponification, response surface methodology, purification
