<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for extracting lipid components in mushrooms efficiently, simply and with little impurities. <P>SOLUTION: The method for extracting lipids from mushrooms comprises extracting with an organic solvent from the residue remaining after extraction from the mushrooms with water. Preferably, the method for extracting lipids from mushrooms comprises extracting from the mushrooms with a mixture liquid of water with an organic solvent and then extracting from the obtained remaining residue with an organic solvent to obtain the extract. The extract containing lipids is obtained by the method. The extract containing lipid is efficiently and simply obtained from the mushrooms and the lipid content in the extract can be increased higher than that of conventional methods. As the lipids content of the lipid-containing extract obtained by the method is high and impurities are little, so further separation and purification of free sterol such as ergosterol, sterol glucoside, ceramide, cerebroside and useful lipids such as phospholipid are easy and the production cost is decreased. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2005,JPO&NCIPI |
