A triglyceride composition comprising two or more triglycerides represented by the following general formula: <CHEM> wherein R1 , R2 and R3, which may be the same or different, each represents an acyl group derived from an aliphatic acid having from 20 to 22 carbon atoms, an acyl group derived from an aliphatic acid having from 14 to 18 carbon atoms, or an acyl group derived from an aliphatic acid having from 6 to 12 carbon atoms, wherein the acyl group derived from an aliphatic acid having from 20 to 22 carbon atoms, the acyl group derived from an aliphatic acid having from 14 to 18 carbon atoms, and the acyl group derived from an aliphatic acid having from 6 to 12 carbon atoms are bound as R1 , R2 and R3 in such a manner that the aliphatic acids which are produced when all of the triglycerides of said composition are hydrolyzed consist essentially of 1 to 20 mol% of an aliphatic acid having 20 to 22 carbon atoms, 30 to 50 mol% of an aliphatic acid having 14 to 18 carbon atoms and 40 to 60 mol% of an aliphatic acid having from 6 to 12 carbon atoms, provided that the sum of the three aliphatic acids equals 100 mol%. The composition is useful as an active ingredient of nutrient infusions, and agents for preventing and treating arteriosclerosis or hyperlipemia. |
