Abstract
There is disclosed a process for producing a lipoprotein-containing substance having a reduced lipid content. The lipid content is reduced by treating a lipoprotein-containing substance with at least one enzyme selected from the group consisting of proteolytic enzymes and lipolytic enzymes and then bringing the substance into contact with a sub- or supercritical fluid to extract a lipid from the substance. The lipid extracted from the substance is separated from the fluid which may be used again in the extraction step. Also disclosed is a food whose raw material is a lipoprotein-containing substance having a reduced lipid content obtained by the above process.
