ABSTRACT A process for the removal of sterols and/or lipid components (eg, cholesterol and fats) from lipid containing food (eg, meat and dairy products) using sub or super-critical fluids (eg, CO2) involves initial processing of the food to produce an intermediate moisture product in which substantially all of the "free water" but not all of the "bound water" is removed. Different moisture removal techniques may be used. Where freeze drying of food flakes is adopted the moisture level is preferably reduced to 30- 55% w/w. In all cases the moisture removal process is carried out in the absence of any significant oxygen, eg, in an inert atmosphere or vacuum to prevent the formation of undesirable oxides of cholesterol which are only very slightly soluble in sub or super-critical CO2. The intermediate moisture product is treated with supercritical CO2 to remove the lipids therefrom. Optionally the cholesterol can be separated from the fat component by use of an adsorbant to selectively remove the cholesterol from the supercritical CO2.
