Abstract

A process for producing a saccharide derivative of a phospholipid, which comprises reacting a phospholipid with a monosaccharide having 5 to 7 carbon atoms, at least one primary alcohol group and at least three hydroxyl groups in total including the OH of the primary alcohol group or a disaccharide thereof, said saccharide being optionally substituted by a group selected from the class consisting of amino and acetylamino groups, or a phenol glycoside of said saccharide in the presence of phospholipase DM. The phospholipid-saccharide derivatives are useful as a liposome-forming substrate, or as an emulsifier for cosmetics, such as cream and lotion, fat solutions for transfusion and agricultural chemicals, such as pesticides and herbicides.
