Abstract (en)

[origin: WO9948907A1] The invention relates to a method for producing stanols. Stanols are hydrogenated in the presence of palladium catalysts in an organic solution. Alcohol, paraffin carbohydrates and mixtures of alcohol and carbohydrates can be used as solvents. The inventive method is suitable for the mass-scale production of stanols as a result of its reduced consumption of solvent and good hydrogenated stanol yield.
