PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for conveniently and easily reducing fishy odor of shark liver oil.SOLUTION: Oil extracted from a shark liver is washed with an ammonium hydrogencarbonate solution or an ammonium hydrogencarbonate solution including an anionic surfactant, and then washed with water. Then, the oil is brought into full contact with a desiccant of an inorganic salt composed of a strong acid and a strong base, and then the desiccant is separated. Optionally, the oil extracted from a shark liver is washed with an anionic surfactant solution, then washed with the ammonium hydrogencarbonate solution, and then washed with water. Then, the oil is brought into full contact with the desiccant of the inorganic salt composed of the strong acid and the strong base, and then the desiccant is separated.COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT【課題】サメ肝臓油の魚臭を手軽に簡単に低減する方法。【解決手段】サメ肝臓から抽出された油を炭酸水素アンモニウム溶液や陰イオン性界面活性剤を含む炭酸水素アンモニウム溶液で洗浄した後、水洗し、次に強酸と強塩基からなる無機塩の乾燥剤と十分接触させ、この乾燥剤を分離する。または、サメ肝臓から抽出された油を陰イオン性界面活性剤溶液で洗浄し、次に炭酸水素アンモニウム溶液で洗浄し、水洗し、強酸と強塩基からなる無機塩の乾燥剤と十分接触させ、この乾燥剤を分離する。【選択図】なし
