Abstract
A composition with a high ganglioside content is manufactured by a method characterized in that milk or milk-derived material containing ganglioside is dispersed in an ethanol solution so that the concentration of ethanol becomes 60˜95%; after removing the precipitate which is generated by heating the solution to a temperature higher than 50° C., the obtained supernatant is cooled to a temperature lower than 0° C; and the obtained precipitate is recovered. The obtained composition with a high ganglioside content is used advantageously as a material for foods and drinks, medicines, chemical products, etc.
Claims8
A method of manufacturing a composition containing ganglioside, comprising the steps of:
- dispersing a material containing ganglioside in an ethanol solution to make the concentration of ethanol 60-95%;
- heating said dispersion to a temperature higher than 50° C. to dissolve ganglioside and simultaneously generate a first precipitate containing proteins;
- removing the first precipitate;
- cooling a supernatant excluding said first precipitate to a temperature lower than 0° C. to generate a second precipitate containing ganglioside;
- and
- recovering the second precipitate.
