Abstract: Provided is an external preparation for skin, comprising a phosphorylated saccharide. The phosphorylated saccharide may be an inorganic salt of a phosphorylated saccharide. The phosphorylated saccharide may be a calcium, magnesium, potassium, zinc, iron or sodium salt. Also provided is an external preparation for skin, comprising a phosphorylated saccharide and a second component, wherein the second component is selected from the group consisting of moisturizing agents, whitening components, ultraviolet absorbents, anti-inflammatory agents, cell-activating agents and antioxidants. The moisturizing agent may be ascorbic acid or an ascorbic acid derivative.

Abstract: The present invention relates to dietary compositions and oral compositions having an anti-dental caries function. The present invention provides dietary compositions and oral compositions having an anti-dental caries function which contain a buffering agent having a pH buffering action in the oral cavity.

Abstract: A cariostatic food is provided. The food comprises: (1) (i) a phosphorylated saccharide calcium salt; or (ii) a combination of a phosphorylated saccharide salt other than a phosphorylated saccharide calcium salt or a phosphorylated saccharide, and a water-soluble calcium salt other than a phosphorylated saccharide calcium salt; (2) a fluoride; and (3) a polyphenol; wherein the phosphorylated saccharide is composed of a saccharide moiety and phosphate group(s); the content of the component (1) in the food is in an amount suitable to make the calcium concentration in saliva in the oral cavity to be 1 mM to 12 mM when the food exists in the oral cavity; and the content of fluoride in the food is in an amount suitable to make the fluoride concentration in saliva in the oral cavity to be 0.2 ppm to 100 ppm when the food exists in the oral cavity.
