Abstract
Edible oil containing monoglyceride is emulsified with a mixture of cholesterol-containing egg in aqueous solution. Then, the mixture is heated and typically is stirred gently to ensure intimate admixture of the oil phase in the aqueous phase. The monoglyceride serves to facilitate oil/lipoprotein interaction in the presence of aqueous phase. The fat in the egg is partitioned into the monoglyceride-containing oil phase. Agitation is continued for a time sufficient to exchange or extract cholesterol and fat from the aqueous phase to the oil phase. The cholesterol- and fat-reduced aqueous phase is the desired low-cholesterol egg product, and is separated from the cholesterol-enriched oil phase.
