Title:
BEVERAGES CONTAINING PLANT STEROLS
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2003105611
Kind Code:
B1
Abstract:
The invention relates to a process for producing a substantially stable dispersion without manufacturing aids, where the dispersion consists essentially of a hydrophobic plant sterol and an aqueous material, wherein the plant sterol is selected from plant sterols and plant stanols. The process comprises mixing the plant sterol with the aqueous material to form a first dispersion, heating the mixture, homogenizing the heated mixture to obtain a second dispersion of particles wherein the particle size of the hydrophobic plant sterol particles in the first dispersion and the second dispersion is from about 0.1 micron to about 30 microns.
