Lipid-improving agent and composition containing lipid-improving agent

A composition having a lipid-improving action which contains a triglyceride(s) where a poly-unsaturated fatty acid is bonded to 2-position of the triglyceride(s).

The composition according to 23, wherein the omega-3 type unsaturated fatty acid is 9,12,15-octadecatrienoic acid (α-linolenic acid) 18:3ω3, 6,9,12,15-octadecatetraenoic acid (stearidonic acid) 18:4ω3, 11,14,17-eicosatrienoic acid (dihomo-α-linolenic acid) 20:3ω3, 8,11,14,17-eicosatetraenoic acid 20:4ω3, 5,8,11,14,17-eicosapentaenoic acid 20:5ω3, 7,10,13,16,19-docosapentaenoic acid 22:5ω3 or 4,7,10,13,16,19-docosahexaenoic acid 22:6ω3.

A food composition which contains a triglyceride(s) where a poly-unsaturated fatty acid is bonded to 2-position of the triglyceride(s) in such a manner that a daily ingested amount of the triglyceride(s) where a poly-unsaturated fatty acid is bonded to 2-position of the triglyceride(s) for an adult per day in made 0.001 to 20 g in terms of the amount of the poly-unsaturated fatty acid.

A process for the production of a composition having a lipid-improving action which is a process for the production of a food composition, characterized in that, a triglyceride(s) where a poly-unsaturated fatty acid is bonded to 2-position and saturated fatty acid and/or mono-unsaturated fatty acid are/is bonded to 1,3-positions is compounded, either solely or jointly, with a food material which does not substantially contains a triglyceride(s) where a poly-unsaturated fatty acid is bonded to 2-position and saturated fatty acid and/or mono-unsaturated fatty acid are/is bonded to 1,3-positions or, if contained, the amount is little.
