PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a water-insoluble iron salt composition which suppresses an iron taste and has other good flavors.SOLUTION: There is provided a water-insoluble iron salt composition which comprises a water-insoluble iron salt and enzymatically decomposed lecithin, wherein the mass ratio (iron/sodium) between iron and sodium detected from the composition is 2.0 or more and the mass ratio (saturated fatty acid/unsaturated fatty acid) between a saturated fatty acid having 16 to 18 carbon atoms and an unsaturated fatty acid having 16 to 18 carbon atoms as the composition ratio of fatty acid components detected from the composition is 0.01 to 1.0.SELECTED DRAWING: NoneCOPYRIGHT: (C)2017,JPO&INPIT【課題】本発明の課題は、鉄味を抑え、他の風味についても良好な水不溶性鉄塩組成物を提供することである。【解決手段】水不溶性鉄塩および酵素分解レシチンを含有する水不溶性鉄塩組成物であって、該組成物から検出される鉄とナトリウムとの質量比(鉄/ナトリウム)が2.0以上であり、該組成物から検出される脂肪酸成分の組成割合として炭素数16~18の飽和脂肪酸と炭素数16~18の不飽和脂肪酸との質量比(飽和脂肪酸/不飽和脂肪酸)が0.01~1.0である、水不溶性鉄塩組成物。【選択図】なし
