VERFAHREN ZUR HERSTELLUNG VON CHOLESTERINREDUZIERTEM EIGELB

摘要

To prepare low-cholesterol egg yolk, the egg yolk is diluted by addition of water or an aqueous salt solution, cholesterol and cholesterol esters, which are present in the diluted egg yolk, are selectively complexed with beta -cyclodextrin, the beta -cyclodextrin charged with cholesterol and/or cholesterol esters is separated off from the diluted egg yolk, the added water is removed from the egg yolk, residual amounts of beta -cyclodextrin present in the egg yolk are degraded enzymatically with the aid of alpha -amylase and/or CTGase, the beta -cyclodextrin is recovered from the beta -cyclodextrin complexes by treatment with water and/or an alcohol and, if required, is reused for complexing cholesterol and cholesterol esters.
