Abstract: According to the present invention, there is provided a process for preparing corosolic acid comprising the steps of (1) dissolving crude extract of Japanese loquat leaves in alkali and aqueous alcohol and (2) applying the solution to a nonpolar adsorption resin to obtain corosolic acid.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a feed composition which contains silver-carrying zeolite and an animal-breeding method comprising the step of administering, to an animal, the foregoing silver-carrying zeolite-containing feed composition. The feed composition has almost no influence on the useful lactobacillus, but exerts an antimicrobial effect on various kinds of harmful microorganisms, in particular, bacteria belonging to the genus Salmonella or the like. Accordingly, the feed composition would permit the improvement of the healthiness of enteric canal of domestic animals, domestic fowls and cultivated fishes and the composition would in thus permit the acceleration of their growth, while maintaining their good healthiness.

Abstract: A floor mark used for a sport game is painted on the outer layer of a mat unit. A pair of mat units to be laid adjacent to each other are fastened together by means of a slide fastener. This slide fastener has a pair of fastener tapes, and a slider to be fitted around the guide sections of the paired fastener tapes. The fastener tape has a length substantially equal to that of the mat unit, and is covered with the outer layer throughout. Each fastener tape has a non-tooth guide section and a non-adhesion section which is not adhered to the outer layer. The non-adhesion section extends from one end of the fastener tape, and is longer than the non-tooth guide section. A positioning mark, used for adjusting the positions of the floor marks painted on the mat units, is painted or written on the surface of the fastener tape, such that the positioning mark is within the range of the non-adhesion section.
