Abstract
The present invention relates to a process for preparing dairy products with a low content of sterols, particularly of cholesterol, characterized in that it consists essentially of contacting an oil-in-water emulsion comprising dairy fats with cyclodextrin in sufficient amount to form inclusion complexes with the sterols so that the latter can be extracted from the fat, and simultaneously or not, separating at least partly said complexes from the medium without inverting the starting oil-in-water emulsion.
