To obtain a food having an excellent emulsification characteristic, etc., and has an improved flavor, texture and appearance by compounding phospholipid of a prescribed value or above in the sum of the ratio of phosphatidic acid and the ratio of phosphatidyl inositol with phospholipid composition.
For example, 100g soy bean lecithin is taken in a 1-liter beaker and is heated to 60°C in a hot water bath, to which 500ml ethanol heated to 60°C is added. The mixture is then stirred. The generated precipitate is recovered and is washed with the heated 500ml ethanol. The resulted precipitate is subjected to solvent removal. The phospholipid composition of ≥0.72 sum of the ratio of the phosphatidic acid and the phosphatidyl inositol and further, ≥1 in the ratio of the phosphatidyl inositol to the phosphatidic acid is obtd. The resulted composition is compounded with ice cream, etc., by which the desired food is obtd.
