Abstract

A process of reducing the amount of cholesterol in egg-yolk which comprises reducing the pH of fresh wet egg-yolk to destabilize the emulsion, treating the destabilized emulsion with an edible oil to form a fine dispersion and centrifuging the dispersion to separate the egg-yolk phase from the oil-phase.
