Removal Conditions of Cholesterol from Cream by Saponin Treatment

Saponin을 이용한 크림 중의 Cholesterol 제거조건

In order to prepare low cholesterol cream by treatment with saponin, the optimal conditions of saponin conc., pH of saponin solution, temperature and amount of celite addition were investigated. The results revealed that the optimal conc. and pH of saponin solution were 5% and 5.5 removing 71.67% and 73.40% of cholesterol, respectively. The temperature of reaction with saponin was best at 60$^{\circ}C$, removing 74.34% of cholesterol in this condition. The addition of celite was more effective than non-addition in the removal of cholesterol from cream. The results of this study indicate that saponin is effective on cholesterol removal from cream.
