LIPID CONTAINING n-4 AND/OR n-7 UNSATURATED FATTY ACIDS, AND MANUFACTURING METHOD OF THE SAME

摘要

PPROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a lipid containing a new n-4 PUFA or n-7 PUFA that is likely to exhibit useful physiological functions, and to provide a method of manufacturing the same. PSOLUTION: The lipid containing the novel n-4 PUFA or n-7 PUFA is obtained by extracting, with a chloroform-methanol mixed solution, lipid components from a finely crushed piece of meat of a cold seep mussel, Bathymodiolus japonicus and Bathymodiolus platifrons which are (bathybic) bivalves belonging to the genus Bathymodiolus symbiosing methane-oxidizing bacterium.
