Abstract:
Systems and methods according to the present invention yield milk products having reduced cholesterol. A method according to the present invention includes the steps of adding an edible oil to skim that was separated from whole milk; standardizing the particle size of the skim-and-oil mixture; combining the skim-and-oil mixture with homogenized cream that was separated from whole milk; and separating the oil from the reduced cholesterol cream and skim. A method according to the present invention may further include the steps of separating the reduced cholesterol cream and skim and then recombining them to form a reduced cholesterol milk product having desired properties.
Abstract:
A reduced cholesterol cream, as compared to a conventionally prepared cream, is produced by pressurizing and shearing whole milk prior to separation of the whole milk into skim milk and cream. The skim milk is increased in cholesterol content and the cream is reduced in cholesterol content.
