Abstract

Phospholipids are located on the milk globule membrane (MFGM) with the cholesterol. The purpose of this research was to investigate the effect of \(\beta\)-cyclodextrin (\(\beta\)-CD) on phospholipids and cholesterol in raw pasteurized milk with the goal of removing cholesterol from the milk fat. Total phospholipids decreased slightly in \(\beta\)-CD treated milk, but the impact of the \(\beta\)-CD  was not significant. \(\beta\)-CD is an effective oligosaccharide for removing cholesterol from milk, with a reduction of more than 97 percent, and has no impact on individual phospholipids of the milk fat globule membrane (phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylethanolamine, sphingomyelin, phosphatidylinositol, and phosphatidylserina).
