This study was conducted to find out the efficiency of beta cyclodextrin (bCD) for the removalof cholesterol from buffalo milk. Standardised (3.5% fat) and homogenised buffalo milk was treated withbCD at three different concentrations i.e., 0.5, 1 and 1.5% (T1, T2 and T3) and compared with a controlwithout bCD treatment. Treatment of milk with bCD at all concentrations did not show any negative impacton pH and acidity of milk. 90% cholesterol was removed when buffalo milk was treated with 1.5% bCD.Treatment of milk with bCD did not reveal significant effect on fatty acid and triglyceride compositionof milk as well as physicochemical and sensory characteristics (P>0.05). These results depicted that bCDcan be used efficiently for the removal of cholesterol from buffalo milk.
