Abstract
[PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED] To provide a method for producing ether phospholipids of high purity by an easy process. [SOLUTION] This production method comprises: (A) a step of extracting total lipids from organisms with non-polar organic solvent and branched alcohol mixture; and (B) a step of reacting the total lipids obtained by the step (A) with phospholipase A1 to decompose mixed diacyl-glycerophospholipids. This makes it possible to produce plasmalogen-type glycerophospholipids or ether phospholipids of high purity by an easy process.
