Abstract: The subject of the invention is to produce a peptide with potent the angiotensin I-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitory activity by decomposing the protein contained in wakame with protease, using wakame being a food material ingested daily as a raw material, and to provide a safe food composition with hypotensive activity, using the treatment product thereof as a raw material.

Abstract: The subject of the invention is to prepare carotenoid beads with high concentration and with less bleeding.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a food foaming agent composition which imparts good taste and good texture in the mouth to the food product and imparts good foaming property and good foaming stability. This food foaming agent composition is characterized in that (1) the taste of the product is not deteriorated regardless of excellent foaming property and excellent foaming stability because it contains a glycerin fatty acid ester as an emulsifier but does not contain a sorbitan fatty acid ester, a propylene glycol fatty acid ester and a sucrose fatty acid ester. More specifically, the food foaming agent composition is characterized in that (2) a glycerin saturated fatty acid monoester and a polyglycerin saturated fatty acid ester are used as the glycerin fatty acid ester in a weight ratio within the range from 1:0.

Abstract: The present invention discloses oil solubilized solutions and foods containing phystosterols containing sitosterols with improved stability, for better absorption of those phytosterols into the body through their oil solubilization, as well as a process for their production; the oil solubilized solutions and foods of the invention are characterized by addition of vitamin E and emulsifiers to sitosterol-containing plant sterols to render the plant sterols soluble in oil, and particularly by extraction of the sitosterol from natural plant components, either alone or as a composition containing other phytosterol components, and by inclusion of vitamin E, emulsifiers which are liquid at room temperature, and glycerin esters of medium chain fatty acids of 6-12 carbon atoms; the process for producing oil solubilized plant sterols according to the invention is characterized by adding vitamin E and emulsifiers to phystosterols containing sitosterols to render the plant sterols soluble in oil.

Abstract: The present invention is relating to milk-constituent-containing beverages which are preserved and distributed in metal cans, and characterized that a milk-constituent-containing beverage, which is provided with growth inhibition effects against heat-resistant spore-forming bacteria and in which such problems as coagulation, oiling off, feathering, precipitation, neck ring, etc. of the milk constituents are suppressed, said milk-constituent-containing beverage containing (A) diglycerol monoesters of fatty acids and (B) at least one emulsifier such as citric acid esters of mono- and diglycerides of fatty acids, guccinic acid esters of mono- and diglycerides of fatty acids, diacetyltartaric acid esters of mono- and diglycerides of fatty acids, polyglycerin monoesters of fatty acids with an HLB of 3 to 16, and sucrose esters of fatty acids with an HLB of 3 to 16, said beverage being characterized in that 70 wt.

Abstract: A coating composition for glass containers containing medium chain fatty acid triglyceride, medium chain fatty acid triglyceride and/or long chain unsaturated triglyceride and squalane, or (a) at least one selected ironi medium chain fatty acid triglyceride, long chain unsaturated triglyceride and liquid paraffin and (b) fatty acid isopropyl as essential ingredient(s).

Abstract: A powdery foaming agent suitable for cake and fry batters and premixes therefor, comprising saturated monoglyceride, saturated diglycerine monoester, lecithin and polyphosphate as essential ingredients is disclosed.

Abstract: An emulsifier composition for use in starch containing foods which is prepared by melt-mixing a composition consisting of 65 to 90 wt % of saturated fatty acid monoglyceride and 35 to 10 wt % of cis-type unsaturated fatty acid monoglyceride, said composition having an iodine value of 10 to 40, with less than 10 wt % of one or more monoglycerides selected from diacetyltartaric acid esters of monoglyceride, mixed tartaric and acetic acid esters of monoglyceride, tartaric acid esters of monoglyceride and citric acid esters of monoglyceride, and powdering the resultant mixture.

Abstract: A thermoplastic resin composition prepared by adding, to a vinyl chloride resin composition or its homologous series resin composition, a glycerin ester represented by the following formula: ##STR1## wherein R.sub.1, R.sub.2 and R.sub.3 represent each an acyl group or a hydrogen atom, said acyl group comprises one having 2 carbon atoms and one consisting mainly of those having 10 to 14 carbon atoms, the acyl group having 2 carbon atoms is present in an amount, on the average, of up to 2 mol per mol of glycerin, the acyl group consisting mainly of those having 10 to 14 carbon atoms are present in an amount, on the average, of at least 0.9 mol per mol of glycerin and the total amount of the acyl groups is, on the average, 2.7 to 3.0 mol per mole of glycerin.
