Abstract: Natural cheese which comprises a lactic acid bacterium belonging to Lactobacillus gasseri having a disinfection potency against Helicobacter pylori, and a method for producing the natural cheese.

Abstract: A method for stabilizing 1,4-dihydroxy-2-naphthoic acid, which comprises reducing an oxygen dissolved in a solution containing 1,4-dihydroxy-2-naphthoic acid, and food or drink containing 1,4-dihydroxy-2-naphthoic acid.

Abstract: A method for producing an extract and/or a squeezed liquid, which includes: feeding a food to be extracted and/or squeezed into a crushing apparatus; adding a solvent into the crushing apparatus immediately after and/or while milling the food; extracting and/or squeezing a useful food component of the food into the solvent; and carrying out liquid-solid separation by removing the resulting extracted residue and/or squeezed residue with a continuous solid-liquid separation apparatus.

Abstract: A process for preparing butter milk and/or butter serum, which comprises decreasing the dissolved oxygen concentration of at least one selected from the group consisting of milk, a milk product, butter milk and butter serum, followed by heating, and optionally fractionizing the heated product.

Abstract: A food objective for extraction and/or squeezing is charged into a colloid mill or a twin-screw extruder; immediately after and/or while milling, a low-temperature solvent (for example, water or milk of from ?3 to 50° C.) is added; and after treating the food using the extruder, grounds are removed to produce an extract and/or a squeezed liquid.

Abstract: A food objective for extraction and/or squeezing is charged into a colloid mill or a twin-screw extruder; immediately after and/or while milling, a low-temperature solvent (for example, water or milk of from ?3 to 50° C.) is added; and after treating the food using the extruder, grounds are removed to produce an extract and/or a squeezed liquid. After milling objective foods, for example, a single product or a combination of foods such as coffee, green tea, black tea, herb tea, wild grass tea, Chinese medical tea, cocoa, vanilla, fruit, and vegetable, extraction and/or squeezing can be rapidly and extremely efficiently carried out at a low temperature, which is appropriate for the mass and continuous production. Furthermore, in comparison with the conventional employed extraction and/or squeezing methods such as a low-temperature extraction method which leads to deterioration in flavor due to oxidation after milling, etc.

Abstract: A process for producing a calcium-supplemented milk drink, by adding to cow's milk, a whey mineral being of a calcium content of 2 to 8% by weight and produced by removing the protein and lactose from whey and concentrating the resulting whey by ultrafiltration and/or microfiltration. By the process, there is produced a calcium-supplemented milk drink having good flavor with no precipitate of calcium salts or being provided with attractive flavor, and being capable of passing through the sterilization process to be prepared into a commercially aseptic state.
