Abstract

The present invention provides a derivative of hydroxylated fatty acid which has a high content of hydroxylated fatty acid, and permits easy ingestion and easy handling, and a production method thereof. The present invention provides a method for producing a homopolymer of hydroxylated fatty acid, including polymerizing the hydroxylated fatty acid by using an enzyme. The homopolymer of hydroxylated fatty acid is stabilized. In addition, a novel, utilizable homopolymer of hydroxylated fatty acid obtained by this production method is also provided.
