A process for the synthesis and isolation of phytosterol esters is described, wherein an alkali metal borohydride is used to reductively bleach tocoquinones and other chromophores in phytosterol ester trans-esterification reaction mixtures. Phytosterol esters produced by this method possess the traditional hallmarks of quality, namely bland taste and light color, and are suitable for food and pharmaceutical applications.
