Abstract
The invention relates to a wet grinding method for producing sterol formulations having good wettability. According to said method, a) an additive selected from the group constituted by proteins, proteinaceous adjuvants, carbohydrates, cellulose derivatives, sugar alcohols, fruit concentrates and vegetable concentrates is dissolved or dispersed in water or in an aqueous suspension medium, b) sterol and/or stanol particles having a medium particle size of at least 1 mm are added to this solution/dispersion, c) the dispersion thus obtained is homogenized and size-reduced in a mill that works according to the rotor/stator principle, and d) is then optionally dried, with the proviso that the sterol and/or stanol particles are present in the final formulation with a particle size distribution of D90% of not more than 50 μm. Owing to their good wettability, the sterol-containing formulations produced according to this method can be incorporated into food items without complex technology and have good organoleptic and sensory properties especially when used in drinks and dairy products.
