Abstract: A toner binder comprising a polyester, the end of which is partially esterified with a monocarboxylic acid and/or a monohydric alcohol, the polyhydric alcohol component of which comprises a C3 alkylene glycol (a21) and an aromatic-ring-bearing diol (a22) at an (a21)/(a22) molar ratio of 5/95 to 70/30, and which has an ester group concentration of 16 to 30 wt % and satisfies a specific relationship between the ester group concentration and the hydroxy value. The toner binder combines low-temperature fixability and storage stability under high-temperature conditions or heat-temperature and -humidity conditions, and exhibits excellent durability.

Abstract: The present invention provides a glycolipid-containing liposome. In such a glycolipid-containing liposome, the glycolipid includes a plant ceramide portion and a sugar chain portion. The present invention also provides a method of producing a glycolipid-containing liposome. This method includes the following steps of: A) providing a glycolipid in which the glycolipid includes a plant ceramide portion and a sugar chain portion; and B) mixing the provided glycolipid with a liposome raw material and subjecting the mixture to conditions in which a liposome is formed.
