  • Edible oil or fat and edible oil or fat mixture
    Patent number: 5686131
    Abstract: An edible oil or fat improved in oxidative stability and suppressed in the development of off flavor is obtained without impairment of high physiological functions inherent to highly-unsaturated fatty acids. To obtain the edible oil or fat, a specific polyunsaturated fatty acid-base oil or a particular fat and saturated fatty acid-base oil or fat are mixed and subjected to an interesterification reaction so that fatty acids are caused to bond at random on glycerol skeletons of the oil or fat to achieve the following properties:(a) the content of polyunsaturated fatty acids of at least three unsaturated bonds per molecule in fatty acid residual groups: 5 to 30%,(b) the content of saturated fatty acids free of any unsaturated bond: 50 to 80%,(c) iodine value: at least 35, and(d) melting point: 35.degree. C. or higher.

  • Angiotensin II type-1 receptor proteins and screening assays using such proteins or transformants expressing them
    Patent number: 5595882
    Abstract: The present invention relates to (1) a human angiotensin II type 1 receptor protein, a recombinant DNA containing a gene which codes for said protein, a transformant carrying said DNA, production of said protein, and anti-angiotensin II substance screening methods using transformants containing said protein.

  • Oil and fat composition having decreased digestive and absorptive properties
    Patent number: 5514406
    Abstract: An oil and fat composition having decreased digestive and absorptive properties comprising an oil and fat composition containing 50% or more tristearin is disclosed. In addition, the oil and fat composition is preferably powdered to have a particle size of 100 .mu.m or less. When beverages and foods containing oil and fat are made, nutritive efficiency may be decreased by using the oil and fat composition of the present invention in place of normally ingested oils and fats. Therefore, the oil and fat composition of the present invention is useful as a material for designer's and pharmaceutical foods.
