Abstract
To produce a glucosylceramide composition suitable for a functional food or a medicinal product, having stable quality, and cleared of contaminants such as sterol glycosides. An objective is to produce a glucosylceramide composition at low cost from a raw material which is safe, has been eaten by human beings, and is readily available. A glucosylceramide-containing composition is produced by extraction from a raw material of a yeast residue in an organic solvent, such as an alcohol, the yeast residue being obtained after extraction of yeast extract from Torula yeast or the like.
