A method for producing a water-dispersible powder containing one or more sterols is described. This method involves creation of micelles comprising sterol and surfactant in an aqueous medium, and coating of these micelles with a mixture of starch and modified starch in a drying step. The dried powder can conveniently be added to water-based edible or drinkable formulations, thereby enabling administration of the cholesterol-lowering sterol in conjunction with a fat-restricted diet.
