摘要

Disclosed is a composition having a lignan compound dissolved therein at a high concentration. The composition comprises a lignan compound such as sesamine or episesamin dissolved in, as a solvent, an oil-and-fat comprising a middle-chain fatty acid triglyceride having 8 to 12 carbon atoms, preferably a triglyceride of caprylic acid and/or capric acid and/or lauric acid. The composition can contain a lignan compound more stably in a higher concentration compared to a composition prepared using other solvent. Therefore, the composition is highly valuable as a food or a pharmaceutical.
