Abstract: The present invention provides apparatus and methods for extracting active ingredients from a raw material. The apparatus comprises an atomized water particle production device; an extracting device for bringing a raw material into contact with the atomized water particles so that the atomized water particles trap active ingredients in the raw material; a condensing device for liquefying the atomized water particles that hold the active ingredients; and means for promoting extraction of the raw material. The means for promoting extraction may comprise decompression means for subjecting the raw material within the extracting device to decompression and activation means for activating the raw material.

Abstract: With efficient extracting of peptide from coffee bean, and by providing food ingredient in which small quantity of peptide is uniformly dispersed by harmless means or dispersing means, the peptide is easily orally ingested. That is, so much material and long time is required for extracting. And, quantity of novel ingredient of peptide obtainable by the extracting is very small, so it is difficult to use the ingredient as it is for material of medicine or food. So, it is inevitable to disperse uniformly in harmless extender. And, for example, solubility of vegetable peptide is generally much influenced by pH or concentration of salt (ion intensity), so particularly in acidic zone, solubility of it deteriorates and it deposits or coheres, ingestion by oral administration of it mixed with food is not always easy, so it is required to disperse the peptide uniformly in harmless means or dispersing means.

Abstract: A biologically active peptide having the amino acid sequence tyrosine-glycine-serine-arginine-serine (SEQ ID NO: 1), as well as compositions prepared from such peptide, possessing anti-cancer activity and anti-inflammatory activity, and a method for producing such a peptide and composition. The peptide is obtained by utilizing a heating, extracting and condensing system that efficiently recovers the derivatives from a raw material.

Abstract: Water is produced containing extracted ingredients from plant, animal and/or mineral matter. Raw material is placed into contact with an absorber material, which holds the raw material after drying. Atomized heated water is applied to the absorber material in a depressurized state to extract effective ingredients from the raw material. The atomized particles containing the extracted ingredients are circulated with air and delivered to a cooled condenser. Water containing the effective ingredients is collected in a reservoir tank after being condensed by the condenser. Atomized fine particles that are not condensed are recirculated.

Abstract: Extraction of components from plant matter, animal matter, mineral matter, and other similar matter; rendering of the components in solid format; and long-term storage thereof.

Abstract: A composition containing genistein, flavionic acid, diadzien, diadzin, and a peptide having the amino acid sequence tyrosine-glycine-serine-arginine-serine, as well as pharmaceutical compositions prepared from such compositions possessing anti-inflammatory activity, and a method for isolating each compound and producing such a composition. A heating, extracting and condensing system that efficiently recovers the compounds derivatives from coffee bean is used.
