Selective fractionation of cholesterol from whole milk powder: optimisation of supercritical process conditions
2015
Chitra, Jayakumar | Deb, Shyamali | Mishra, Hari N.
Supercritical fluid extraction (SCFE) of cholesterol from whole milk powder (WMP) was investigated in this study. The combined effects of temperature (40–80 °C) and pressure (150–250 bar) on the efficacy of cholesterol extraction (mg 100 g⁻¹), modifications in the fat content (FC) (%) and solubility index (SI) (%) of WMP were studied and optimised by the application of response surface methodology (RSM). Variations in the free fatty acids (FFAs) (mg oleic acid per 100 g of milk fat) and lightness value (L*) were also investigated after SCFE process. About 55.8% reduction in cholesterol was achieved at the optimised condition of 68 °C, 207 bar with 40 min static time and 2 h dynamic time at flow rate of 6 L min⁻¹. Extraction at the optimised conditions maximised the yield of cholesterol while retaining the FC, SI, FFA and L* at moderate limits of 23.7%, 85.1%, 7.7 mg per 100 g milk fat and 95.4, respectively.
