Title: Oil or fat compositions containing phospholipids and a long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acid-supplying compound, and food using the same
Inventor: ONO YOSHIKO
IPC: A23J7/00
Filed: 2004-12-02
Abstract: A fat composition which contains an LCPUFA-supplying compound having an LCPU FA in its structure and being capable of releasing the LCPUFA upon hydrolysis a s the first component and a phospholipid as the second component. The composition ratio of these components is determined based on the number of t he hydrolyzable fatty acid bond structures contained in the phospholipid molecule. Thus, the phospholipid and the LCPUFA-supplying compound are metabolized to form LCPUFA-PL in vivo followed by the absorption of the same . Owing to this mechanism, it is possible to obtain a fat composition by which the LCPUFA-PL level in vivo can be efficiently elevated without resort to a phospholipid having a long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acid (LCPUFA) as a constituent thereof (LCPUFA-PL) while taking the metabolism in vivo into consideration.
