Abstract: After hydrolyzing a phospholipid bonded to a molecular end of a natural rubber, a compound having a polar group reacting with a hydroxyl group is condensed with a hydroxyl group contained in the phospholipid-hydrolyzed natural rubber to thereby obtain a modified natural rubber in which a polar group is present at a molecular end. The modified natural rubber thus obtained in which a polar group is present at a molecular end is used for a rubber component of a rubber composition, whereby a rubber composition in which carbon black and silica as fillers are bonded to the rubber component to enhance a reinforcing effect and which is excellent in a low hysteresis loss property and abrasion resistance to a large extent is obtained. An enzyme or an alkali is used for hydrolyzing the phospholipid, and a condensing agent is used for condensing the polar group-containing compound.
