Process for the selective alcholysis of a free sterol, contained in, or externally added to a fat-based product, in an organic solvent substantially free of water or in a solvent-free system in the presence of an immoblised-surfactant coated lipase complex, the complex possessing a high level of sterol-specific selective alcoholytic activity and minimal acidolytic and transesterification activities, for a time sufficient for alcoholysis of the free sterol to occur, wherein the selective alcoholysis process, provides a fat-based product containing a reduced amount of free sterol, in particular, cholesterol. |
