Publication number: 20160100614Abstract: An object of the present invention is to utilize strong water and moisture holding property and oil and fat holding property—that is to say, binding effects—of pith fibers (ground stem or stalk internal fibers) separated from sunflower stems or stalks, which are natural products, in order to enhance binding capacity of processed meat products, and especially processed chicken products. Another object of the present invention is to apply the use of the pith fibers to other processed foods, such as noodles and sweets. The present inventor found that lipophilic pith fibers (ground stem or stalk internal fibers) separated from sunflower stems or stalks have strong water and moisture holding property and oil and fat holding property; that is to say, binding effects.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 24, 2013Publication date: April 14, 2016Applicant: MOTTAINAI BIOMASS RESEARCH CORPORATIONInventor: Yoshio TAKAMURA

Publication number: 20160100615Abstract: The hunger minimized fasting system relies on providing a blood glucose level at all times in the range of 5 to 10 mM, satisfying glucose needs of the brain and metabolizing blood glucose through anaerobic glycolysis to release ATP at the extramitocontrial portion of the cell. Consuming only solid free nutrient liquids eliminates brain hunger response. Liquids consumed during fasting include solid filtered vegetable soup and clear fruit juices of 8 to 12 ounces taken every 2 to 4 hours having calorie deficiency of 600 to 1400 as compared to minimal daily calorie requirements for an adult. Fat released from storage is metabolized by ATP produced by glycolysis at the extramitocontrial location and enters the interior of the mitochondria, enabling the TCA cycle. Weight loss observed during fasting is about one half to one pound per day.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 10, 2014Publication date: April 14, 2016Inventors: Sudarshan Narasimhan, Dave Narasimhan
