2. Description of the Related Art Arachidonic acid is a biological precursor of prostaglandin, and its pharmacological effect has recently attracted attention. Arachidonic acid is derived from linoleic acid in vivo,
It is synthesized via γ-linolenic acid and dihomo-γ-linolenic acid, and this synthetic arachidonic acid is converted to prostaglandin, which is considered to exert its effect. Therefore, it has been proposed that arachidonic acid and linoleic acid, which is a biosynthetic raw material thereof, be used as an active ingredient of a medicine or health food. For example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 59-62522 proposes that linoleic acid and arachidonic acid be orally administered together with a surfactant as a water-soluble composition and used for prevention and treatment of digestive disorders.

[0003] The above-mentioned linoleic acid is contained in large amounts in ordinary fats and oils foods, and it is easy to obtain it, and desired effects can be expected by ingesting it as food, but arachidonic acid is used in foods such as fish, meat and eggs. However, it is difficult to obtain inexpensively a sufficient amount that can expect its pharmacological effect. Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 59-62522 uses arachidonic acid in the form of a purified free fatty acid, but this is not practical because it is expensive.
