Abstract
The present invention relates to a method for efficiently extracting and producing lipid components from crustaceans. A method for producing lipids, characterized by obtaining a squeezed liquid by squeezing a whole crustacean or a part thereof, heating the squeezed liquid to a temperature at which proteins contained in the squeezed liquid coagulate, carrying out solid-liquid separation so as to separate the heated squeezed liquid into a solid component that contains lipid components and an aqueous component that contains water-soluble components, washing the resulting solid containing lipids or a dried product thereof with water, dehydrating and/or drying, and then extracting lipids from the solid containing lipids or the dried product thereof.
Claims4
A solid composition containing lipids obtained by the following steps in the following order squeezing a whole crustacean so as to break down tissue of the whole crustacean and to obtain a squeezing liquid,
- heating the squeezed liquid to a temperature at which the proteins contained in the squeezed liquid coagulate, wherein the temperature is 50° C. or more,
- carrying out solid-liquid separation so as to separate the heated squeezed liquid into a solid component that contains lipid components and an aqueous component that contains water-soluble components, and
- washing the resulting solid containing lipids or a dried product thereof with water, followed by dehydrating and/or drying,
- wherein the solid-liquid separation is carried out by at least one selected from the group consisting of filtration and centrifugal separation.
