The present invention addresses the problem of providing an emulsion composition which can retain emulsion stability even when undergoing a high-temperature process such as sterilization (heat resistance) and has a small change in particle diameter distribution before and after heating, and of which the emulsion stability can be retained even when an oily phase component causes the change in state (e.g., the oily phase component is coagulated and crystallized by decreasing the temperature of the composition, or the oily phase is melted by increasing the temperature of the composition) (i.e., resistance to decrease in temperature), and which is easy to handle during the production thereof.The problem can be solved by an oil-in-water type emulsion composition comprising solid particles, a surfactant having one alkyl group, an oily phase component and an aqueous phase component, wherein the oily phase component comprises an oily phase component having an unsaturated bond and/or an oxygen atom, and the solid particles exist on the interface between the oily phase component and the aqueous phase component.
