a

Values are rounded to one decimal. RT, room temperature.

b

Mean values for the indicated range of conditions are presented as there was no virtual differences in POP contents.

c

ORP (oxidation rate of PS) was calculated as POP content in foods divided by baseline phytosterol contents ×100.

d

Different batches of rapeseed oil were used in the two experiments, hence POP contents before heat treatment varied.

e

6‐OH‐ (6‐hydroxyphytostanols) 7‐OH, (7‐hydroxyphytostanols), 15‐OH‐ (15‐hydroxyphytostanols).

f

Ratio of plant stanols to plant sterols = 70:8 and POP values are the sum of oxidised derivatives of both plant sterols and stanols.
