  • PROCESS FOR THE PRODUCTION OF STANOLS
    Publication number: 20010007036
    Abstract: Sterols are hydrogenated to stanols in the presence of hydrogenation catalysts in reduced amounts of organic solvent. Both alcohols and paraffin hydrocarbons and also mixtures of alcohols and paraffin hydrocarbons may be used as the solvent. By virtue of the reduced consumption of solvent and the high yield of hydrogenated sterol, the process is particularly suitable for the industrial production of stanols.
