Abstract
Cyclodextrin, a base and water are mixed with egg yolk to reduce the cholesterol content of the egg yolk. The cholesterol is removed as a complex of cyclodextrin while the base prevents loss of protein from the egg yolk. The amount of base added is sufficient to adjust the pH to between 7.5 and 12.
