Disclosed is a method for reducing the sterol, for example cholesterol, content of sterol-containing substances such as fats and oils. The method provides an efficient and cost effective process based on the phospholipid bilayers. Phospholipid aggregates are contacted with, for example, a sterol- containing fat or oil in an aqueous environment and then mixed. Following adequate mixing, the sterol-reduced fat or oil is separated from the aqueous separation mixture as shown in the figure. Alternatively, the corresponding sterol-enriched phospholipid also may be isolated from the aqueous separation mixture.

L'invention porte sur un procédé de réduction du stérol tel que le cholestérol, contenu dans des substances telles que des matières grasses et des huiles. Ce procédé met en oeuvre un processus efficace et peu coûteux réalisé sur la base des bicouches phospholipidiques. Des agrégats phospholipidiques sont mis en contact avec, par exemple, une matière grasse ou une huile contenant du stérol, dans un environnement aqueux, puis sont mélangés. Après un mélange adéquat, la matière grasse ou l'huile à teneur réduite en stérol est séparée du mélange de séparation aqueux. Dans une autre variante, le phospholipide correspondant enrichi en stérol peut être également isolé du mélange de séparation aqueux.
