Abstract
A process for the removal of undesired lipophilic contaminations and/or residues, which are contained in beverages or in vegetable preparations. The process comprises a first step in which a beverage or vegetable preparation is mixed with a lipophilic phase such that the contaminations and/or residues to be removed are dissolved in the lipophilic phase and are concentrated therein nearly quantitatively. In a second step, the lipophilic phase, which contains the contaminations and/or residues, is separated from the beverage or vegetable preparation. Finally, the purified beverage or vegetable preparation is obtained.
