Procedure for removing cholesterol and cholesterol esters from egg-yolk.

摘要

Cholesterol and cholesterol esters are removed from egg yolk by a process wherein a) optionally after the addition of an emulsion-breaking agent to the egg yolk, the egg yolk plasma is separated from the LDL-granula fraction, b) cholesterol and cholesterol esters which are contained in the egg yolk plasma are adsorbed on a solid adsorption agent and c) the solid material loaded with cholesterol and/or cholesterol esters is separated from the liquid plasma phase and optionally the egg yolk plasma and the separated granula fraction are again mixed together.
