Abstract
- Edible nuts and seeds are nutrient-rich food, and also valuable source of various bioactive compounds. Among them are phytosterols, plant triterpenes with proven antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties. Due to their similar structure with cholesterol, these plant sterols, when digested, compete with cholesterol for small intestine absorption leading to lowering of the cholesterol level in blood.
