Process for removing cholesterol derivatives from egg yolk

摘要

A process is described for removing cholesterol derivatives from egg yolk by dilution of the egg yolk with aqueous salt solution and subsequent complexing of the cholesterol derivatives using beta-cyclodextrin, before the complexing step, a dilute egg yolk mixture being produced by adding an aqueous solution of a water-soluble salt comprising the cation potassium or calcium and the anion chloride and/or sulphate and/or an organic anion having a molecular weight
