Abstract: Provided is a sodium stearoyl lactylate preparation having high solubility (excellent dispersibility) in water at 20° C. and excellent effects of improving the easiness of loosening noodles and improving the texture of noodles. In particular, provided is a sodium stearoyl lactylate preparation of which the dried residue weight measured, by Dispersibility Test 1, as an evaluation index of dispersibility is less than 1.4 g, Dispersibility Test 1 comprising the following steps 1) to 3): 1) placing 47.5 g of water at 20° C. in a 100 mL glass beaker, adding 2.5 g of the sodium stearoyl lactylate preparation at the same temperature thereto, and stirring the content at the same temperature at 500 rpm for 60 seconds using a three-one motor to prepare a mixed liquid; 2) pouring the mixed liquid in 1) into a stainless steel strainer with a pore size of 250 ?m and collecting the residue remaining in the strainer; and 3) placing the residue in 2) on a glass petri dish, hot-air drying the residue at 105° C.

Abstract: To provide a ?-pinene polymer excellent in heat resistance while having thermoplasticity, and further also having excellent strength, without impairing the inherent characteristics of small specific gravity and excellent transparency. A desired ?-pinene polymer having a weight average molecular weight of 90,000 to 1,000,000 and a glass transition temperature of 80° C. or more was obtained by polymerizing ?-pinene in the presence of a bifunctional vinyl compound.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a sterilization indicator using a chemical indicator that is useful for hydrogen peroxide plasma sterilization treatment and a sterilization packaging material for storing an article to be sterilized by plasma sterilization treatment that has an indicator area formed from the sterilization indicator provided thereon. The plasma-sterilization indicator according to the invention, which includes one or more compounds (A) selected from the group consisting of adsorption indicators and metal chelate-titration indicators, and an organic metal compound (B) and is irreversible in discoloration and higher in discoloration speed, allows definite judgment of whether or not an article in a sterilization packaging material was previously subjected to plasma sterilization treatment and thus is useful as a plasma-sterilization indicator.
