PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for producing pulverulent ceramide in which ceramide is easily and efficiently extracted and separated from sugar beet pulp and pulverization is efficiently performed by spray drying.SOLUTION: Pulverulent ceramide can be obtained efficiently by a process in which sugar beet pulp ethanol extract obtained by extracting sugar beet pulp (for example, beet fibers or the like) using ethanol is concentrated or concentrated after hydrolyzation, pectinase is added to the resulting concentrate and an enzymatic reaction is conducted, emulsification is conducted after inactivating the enzyme, and the resulting emulsion is pulverized by spray drying.COPYRIGHT: (C)2015,JPO&INPIT【課題】甜菜パルプから簡便且つ効率的にセラミドを抽出・分離し、且つ、噴霧乾燥により効率的に粉末化できる粉末セラミドの製造方法等を提供する。【解決手段】甜菜パルプ(例えばビートファイバーなど)をエタノール抽出して得た甜菜パルプエタノール抽出液を濃縮、及び/又は加水して濃縮し、この濃縮液にペクチナーゼを添加して酵素反応を行い、酵素失活後に乳化処理を行い、得られた乳化液を噴霧乾燥により粉末化する工程により、粉末セラミドを効率よく取得できる。【選択図】なし
