摘要

Preparing cholesterol reducing edible products like food stuffs, comprises dissolving or mixing in a melt of a food emulsifier plant sterols or stanols, such that the content of the food emulsifier is higher than the content of sterol/stanol. The mixture is added to a protein containing product followed by homogenization to give an emulsion of liposome particles mixed into food stuffs. Preparing cholesterol reducing edible products like food stuffs, comprises: (a) dissolving or mixing in a melt of a food emulsifier plant sterols or plant stanols having cholesterol reducing properties, such that the content of food emulsifier is higher than the content of sterol/stanol; (b) adding the mixture to a protein containing product at 45-100 degreesC; (c) homogenizing the solution or mixture to form an emulsion of liposome particles containing the sterols and/or stanols in the protein-containing product; and (d) mixing the resulting sterol/stanol containing liposome solution into food stuffs and/or is using it as a health cost preparation. An Independent claim is also included for an edible product prepared by the method above, where the edible product is a food product or a pharmacological preparation in which the cholesterol reducing agent is a liposome solution of a sterol or a stanol in combination with an emulsifier and dissolved, by homogenization, in milk to form liposomes containing the cholesterol reducing agent.
