Phytosterol exhibits cholesterol-lowering, cardiovascular-protecting, anti-inflammatory, and anticancer efficacies but has low bioavailability due to its high melting point poor solubility. Esterification with fatty acids enhances liposolubility, improving absorption utilization fivefold. Industrial production of phytosterol esters mainly relies on chemical synthesis, which faces challenges in separation, purification, quality assurance side reactions. Enzymatic featuring mild conditions, environmental friendliness, selectivity, gained attention from academia industry. Candida rugosa lipase (CRL) is widely utilized efficiency catalyzing the esterification phytosterol. Natural lipases are highly sensitive changes temperature pH difficult reuse continuous cycles; however, certain immobilization techniques can improve their catalytic activity stability. Furthermore, application immobilized synthesis be combined ultrasonic treatment enhance enzymatic catalysis. This paper reviews research progress by lipases, highlighting current future directions, thereby fostering further advancements field preparing through
