The present invention relates to a process for preparation of ghee of reduced cholesterol from melted butter serum. The present invention also relates to the process for preparation of ghee of reduced cholesterol without the homogenization of butter serum. Beta cyclodextrin, in a range of 1 % to 10 % by weight of total fat content in the butter serum, is added to the melted butter serum at a temperature in the range of 35 °C to 65 °C. The butter serum is agitated at a speed of 25 rpm to 50 rpm for 30 minutes to 60 minutes. The water serum phase containing cholesterol-beta cyclodextrin complex is separated from the butter serum and the concentrated butter fat serum of reduced cholesterol content is collected. Heating the concentrated butter fat serum to a temperature of 102 °C to 108 °C for a sufficient time to remove all moisture content provides ghee of reduced cholesterol. |
