Definitions
- the invention relates to a novel process for the removal of at least part of cholesterol from edibles and to means for errecting such process.
- the process is especially effective in the removal of cholesterol from eggs, milk, cream, butter and the like, which can be brought to a liquid state.
- the process is effected by means of hydrocolloids.
- Preferred extractants are certain galactomannoses, such as galactose grafted on poly 1,4-0-mannose.
- Suitable extractants are certain natural gums such as guar gum, tara gum, Fenugreek, locust bean gum and the like.
- the present invention provides natural foodstuffs from which a predetermined percentage of cholesterol has been removed, yet which retain their original appearance and the taste of which is substantially not impaired.
- the invention relates to a process for the removal of a predetermined percentage of cholesterol from edibles which contain such cholesterol, to mean for such removal and to the products obtained by such process.
- the invention also relates to use of extracts according to the invention to provide in vivo control of cholesterol levels.
- the preferred extractants according to the invention are certain hydrocolloids.
- Preferred are galactomannoses, and especially galactose grafted on poly-l,4-0-mannose.
- Suitable extractants are based on natural gums, such as Fenugreek, guar gum, tara gum, locust bean gum and the like.
- Further possible extractants are hydrocolloids based on polyglucosides derived from cereals, such as brans. The effectivity of these is generally less than that of the mentioned gums.
- the gums used in the extraction process of the present invention can be prepared by conventional processes. There may be used an extraction from used seed germ by hot water, sometimes with the addition of a suitable alcohol, such as isopropanol, which can be evaporated at the end of the extraction to leave the desired product as precipitation.
- a suitable alcohol such as isopropanol
- the extraction can be effected by contacting the substrate with the extractant in a variety of embodiments of the invention.
- the extractants can be applied to an inert carrier and used in column form.
- Suitable carriers are inert materials such as silica, alumina, carbon black, Ca CO, or other minerals.
- the process of extraction is generally carried out by preparing an aqueous medium containing the appropriate concentration of the hydrocolloiud and by adding the substrate (liquid egg, milk, butter, cream etc.) in a gradual manner and at a temperature where the said substrate is in liquid form (about 45 degrees for butter, about 60 degrees for shortening, ambient temperature for milk, cream and eggs) , stirring for a predetermined period of time, generally of the order of about 5 to 10 minutes, and centrifuging to attain full separation of the gum. Good results were obtained by centrifugation at about 2000 RPM for about 10 minutes.
- the liquid edible, from which part of the cholesterol has been removed, is worked up, and the solid can be used subsequently for treating further batches of substrate. At least two or three cycle can be carried out without appreciable decrease in the efficiency of the removal.
- the absorbed cholesterol can be washed out of the absorbent by treating the "mixture" with surfactant solution such as sodium lauryl sulfate, sodium sulfo succinate and other detergents.
- surfactant solution such as sodium lauryl sulfate, sodium sulfo succinate and other detergents.
- the gum is dried and can be used. Good results were obtained with an aqueous extractant which contains about 5 to 10 percent of the hydrocolloid, by weight.
- an absorbent of the invention in column form A column is packed with the hydrocolloid (gum, etc.), and the substrate is passed through such column at a predetermined flow rate. Experiments were carried out with columns which contain 5 to 10 grams of the hydrocolloid with 5 to 10 ml of water, and the edible containing the cholesterol was passed through the column.
- the foodstuff can be passed through the column by gravity. There can also be applied a certain pressure.
- the degree of cholesterol removal can be controlled within rather wide limits, and it depends on the parameters of the column, on the retention time and whether it is passed only once or a number of times through such columns.
- a glass column of 4 cm internal diameter was filled with a layer of 5 mm glass wool, with 2 cm height 3 mm diameter glass beads, with 4.5 cm of hydrocolloid (guar gum) (15.35 gr is the weight of gum) followed by further 2 cm glass beads.
- the total quantity of absorbent was 15.35 gr.
- a quantity of 200 gr of whipping cream, containing about 150 mg of cholesterol in 100 gr sample was stirred with an equal volume of water during 30 minutes, and a quantity of about
