Abstract
A method for extracting minor fatty compounds, partially steroids, from biological matter by means of cyclodextrin. According to the method, the cyclodextrin is stirred into said biological matter in a water-containing reaction medium to allow the formation of inclusion complexes between the cyclodextrin and the minor fatty compounds, whereafter said complexes are separated from said matter, the cyclodextrin being stirred in at a temperature such that the glycerides in said matter are in a congealed state.
