JPS6049747A - Phospholipid composition - Google Patents

Abstract

PURPOSE:To provide a phospholipid composition soluble easily in both saturated and unsaturated oils or fats without causing precipitation, and useful as an edible oil and fat product, by dissolving a phospholipid in a medium-chain fatty acid triglyceride at a specific ratio. CONSTITUTION:The objective phospholipid composition is produced by dissolving 1pt. of a phospholipid in 1-50pts. of a 8-12C medium-chain saturated fatty acid triglyceride (MCT). The amount of the phospholipid is calculated based on the content of the acetone-insoluble component. The MCT is preferably the one containing <=10wt% fatty acid excluding the 8-12C fatty acid.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention replaces a portion of phospholipids with medium chain fatty acid triglycerides (M
CT) It relates to a phospholipid composition characterized in that the solubility of the phospholipid is improved by dissolving it in 1 to 50 parts.

Phospholipids are mainly contained as membrane components in the brain, blood, and organs of legumes and egg yolks, and play important functions, and have been used in foods and medicines for their physiologically active effects, including phosphatidylcholine. This is a promising substance.

Phospholipids include phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylethanolamine, and phosphatidylserine, but because they have unique chemical structures, they are all insoluble in acetone and have low concentrations in oils and fats. Generally, the solubility is poor except in the case of unsaturated fats and oils, and sedimentation occurs particularly in unsaturated fats and oils, which is a major problem in use.

As a result of many years of research, the inventor has created a composition in which 1 part of phospholipid is dissolved in 60 parts of McTl, which is stable against both saturated and unsaturated, short-chain and long-chain fats and oils without separating and precipitating. They found that it dissolves and completed the present invention.

The present invention is a phospholipid composition in which 1 part of phospholipid is dissolved in M (Tl to 60 parts), and if the MC is less than 71 parts, the phospholipid in the composition cannot be converted into easily soluble one, and if it exceeds 50 parts, the phospholipid content becomes low and practicality is lost.

In the present invention, both purified and high-purity phospholipids derived from soybeans, eggs, and other raw materials can be used, but the amount of phospholipids is calculated based on the acetone-insoluble content. For example, commercially available phospholipids (commonly known as lecithin) contain 60% (the same percentage by weight) of acetone insoluble matter, which corresponds to 0.6 part. II
ICT is a saturated fatty acid triglyceride having 8 to 10 carbon atoms, but in the present invention, fatty acid AII has 81 carbon atoms in the charcoal.
The content of fatty acids other than 2 is 3096 or less, preferably 1
It can be used if it is 096 or less.

The composition of the present invention is easily dissolved in both saturated and unsaturated oils and fats, and can have a great effect on opening up the market for phospholipids as stable edible oil and fat products.

This will be explained below using examples.

Example 1 Phospholipid (acetone insoluble content 60% > 17 and 9 MCT (
,)-liglyceride fatty acid having 8 to 10 carbon atoms (9.6%)) was dissolved in 4 to 9 to prepare a phospholipid composition. This composition was transparently dissolved in wheat germ oil, cottonseed oil, and refined fish oil in any proportion.

5Kg of this composition is Δ＼Wheat germ? When dissolved in 1 to 6 μg,
A transparent and stable /11 wheat germ oil containing 8.7% phospholipids was obtained.

Example 2 Phospholipid powder (acetone insoluble content 96%) L05 with 9 (IK9 as acetone insoluble content) MCT ()-Liglyceride fatty acid with 8 to 1 carbon atoms in fatty acid 90X) 8.9
It was dissolved in 5Ko to give a phospholipid composition.

When this phospholipid composition #5 and 9 are dissolved in purified deodorized fish oil (12% eicosapentaenoic acid and 6% docosahexaenoic acid in triglyceride fatty acids) 5 and 9, a transparent and stable wifIJI fish oil blend containing 5% phospholipid* is obtained. became.

Example 3 Phospholipid (acetone insoluble content 60%') 1,7 Ky to M
CT (glyceride m-fatty acid composition: 80% of fatty acids with a median number of 8 to 12) was dissolved in 3.3 to 9 to obtain a phospholipid composition. This composition became a health supplement containing 20% phospholipids.
