The present invention provides a neutral fat reducing composition which reduces a blood neutral fat safely and efficiently, and whose active ingredient is a soybean protein containing 50% or more of a 7S globulin fractionated from a soybean protein and 0.2% or less of phytate based on the proteins. Its effect is further enhanced by removing a oil-body-associated protein and reducing a chloroform methanol-extractable oil fraction.
