Disclosed is a liver function-protecting agent which comprises a phospholipid as an active ingredient, and which can exhibit an excellent prophylactic and ameliorating effect on the deterioration in the liver function when ingested orally. Also disclosed is a liver function-protecting food, beverage or feed. The phospholipid is preferably one derived from milk or a milk material. Alternatively, the phospholipid may be used in the form of a phospholipid-containing composition prepared from milk or a milk material and containing the phospholipid in an amount of 10 wt % or more relative to the total solid content.

A milk calcium composition which is highly dispersible and tasty can be obtained by adjusting the pH of a permeate containing lactic acid and lactic acid ion, which was obtained by treating whey with a UF membrane or NF membrane, to recover milk calcium as a slurry-like precipitate and then admixing this milk calcium with milk proteins.

Column packings for liquid chromatography comprising porous granules which have hydrophilic surfaces prepared by calcining a crystalline clay mineral having a fibrous structure. Median pore diameter of the porous ceramic granules is in the range of from 0.001 .mu.m to 0.01 .mu.m. The crystalline clay mineral can be sepiolite or attapulgite. The column packings for liquid chromatography have high mechanical strength, are presssure resistant and very stable to elutants having a high pH value and/or a high polarity so that the separating characteristics thereof are not changed even after long use.
