FRACTION OF CRUDE SOYBEAN LECITHIN HAVING FUNCTION TO SUPPRESS SYNTHESIS OF NEUTRAL FAT IN LIVER

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain a fraction which is safe as foods or drinks, animal feeds and medicines without side effects and has effects to suppress synthesis of neutral fat in a liver and to prevent or cure a fat liver by fractionating a crude soybean lecithin produced in the production process of an oil from soybeans. SOLUTION: A crude soybean lecithin produced in the production process of an oil from soybeans is fractionated to obtain a crude soybean fraction. This fraction is phosphatidyl choline or phosphatidyl ethanolamine and has an effect to suppress synthesis of neutral fat in a liver. The fraction is insoluble in methanol and acetone but soluble in chloroform-methanol.
