Abstract: A Raney-type metal porous material of which at least the inner surface of the pores constituting the porous structure is an alloy of the skeletal metal constituting it and a metal differing from the skeletal metal. The invention has made it possible to alloy a Raney-type metal with a porous structure, to realize a novel method of enabling remarkable enhancement of the function and the activity of the alloy based on the porous structure thereof, and to use the alloy as catalysts, etc.

Abstract: Provided an acidic oil-in-water type emulsified seasoning comprising egg yolk, the content of oils and fats is 10 to 40 mass %, and the oscillating strain and the loss elastic modulus (G?), which are indicative of dynamic viscoelasticity measured by the following condition with a rheometer, have the following relationship. Condition: At a temperature of 25 to 35° C. and at an angular frequency of 6.2 rad/s Relationship: A peak of the loss elastic modulus (G?) is present in the range of 1 to 100% of the oscillating strain, and the loss elastic modulus at the peak (G?d) is larger than the maximum value of the loss elastic modulus (G?s) in the range of 0.1 to 1% of the oscillating strain.

Abstract: Provided an acidic oil-in-water type emulsified seasoning comprising a cross-linked starch, the content of oils and fats is 10 to 70 mass %, the viscosity is 20,000 to 1,000,000 mPa·s, a first peak is present in the range of 0.5 to 5 micrometers and a second peak is present in the range of 20 to 80 micrometers in a particle size distribution of the acidic oil-in-water type emulsified seasoning measured by using a laser diffraction particle size analyzer, and the cross-linked starch has the following characteristics: the viscosity of a mixture of the cross-linked starch and water prepared under the following condition is 120 to 20,000 mPa·s; and the average particle diameter of the cross-linked starch being present in the mixture is 20 to 40 micrometers. Condition: a mixture of the cross-linked starch and water comprising 8 mass % of the cross-linked starch is heated up to 90° C., and then is maintained at 90° C. for 5 minutes, and then is cooled to 20° C.
