- and
- a (poly)glycerin fatty acid ester containing from 1 to 6 glycerin units and from 1 to 6 fatty acid units, and having at least one hydroxyl group in the glycerin units.
A fat-reducing agent comprising a carotenoid-containing composition as an active ingredient, the carotenoid-containing composition including:
- a carotenoid component including lycopene, wherein at least 90% by mass of the crystalline carotenoid is in a non-crystalline state;
- a (poly)glycerin fatty acid ester containing from 1 to 6 glycerin units and from 1 to 6 fatty acid units, and having at least one hydroxyl group in the glycerin units, and
- at least one selected from the group consisting of ascorbic acid, an ascorbic acid ester and salts thereof as an antioxidant, in a molar quantity that is from 0.01 times to 10 times a molar quantity of the carotenoid component.
