Generally in accordance with the present invention, methods are provided for removing cholesterol from edible triglyceride oils.

The present methods may be used to remove cholesterol from both animal and vegetable triglyceride oils, including, but not limited to, butterfat, beef tallow, fish oil, lard, soybean oil, canola oil, corn oil, sunflower oil, cottonseed oil, safflower oil, olive oil and peanut oil.
