摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an edible oil containing arachidonic acid originating from microorganism belonging to Mortierella subgenus of Mortierella which has arachidonic acid productivity, with a reduced amount of unsaponifiable matter, scarcely containing sterol which has cyclopropane ring and is inexperienced in food, suitable for food, especially for infant's milk preparation.;SOLUTION: The food additive comprises less than 0.8 wt.%, preferably less than 0.6 wt.% of unsaponifiable matter and the oil containing arachidonic acid originating from microorganism containing more than 20 wt.% of the arachidonic acid. The prescribed oil additive contains less than 0.3 wt.%, preferably less than 0.15 wt.% of 24, 25-methylenecholest-5-en-3-ol. The microorganism belongs to the Mortierella subgenus of Mortierella which has arachidonic acid productivity. The microorganism belonging to the Mortierella subgenus is a microorganism belonging to genus Mortierella alpina species.;COPYRIGHT: (C)2008,JPO&INPIT
