Abstract
A method to extract egg material cholesterol and esters thereof based on the specific affinity of a cyclodextrin, particularly .beta.-cyclodextrin. The method consists of a sequence of steps: pH adjustment, dilution with distilled water, heating, mixing, cooling, and centrifugation. The method removed about 95-96% of total egg yolk cholesterol and esters without removing or damaging other egg yolk components. Protein solubility, sponge cake volume and color were the same for a control and the reduced cholesterol egg material.
