PROCESS FOR PRODUCING FOOD CONTAINING PLANT STEROL

摘要

A food in which a plant sterol and/or plant stanol whose dissolution in water is difficult is stably dispersed homogeneously while suppressing any deposition or coagulation (ring formation) thereof; and a process for producing the same. An emulsifier of 6 to 16 HLB and a plant sterol are added to a food raw material in a weight ratio of 3:8 to 10:1 and heated at 110° to 200°C, thereby obtaining an intended food.
