Abstract: The object of the present invention is to provide a stabilizer for and a method for stabilizing an emulsion composition emulsified with a non-ionic surfactant. This invention solves the above object by providing a stabilizer for an emulsion composition emulsified with a non-ionic surfactant; the stabilizer comprising a glycosyl naringenin as an effective ingredient, and a method for stabilizing an emulsion composition emulsified with a non-ionic surfactant; the method comprising a step of having a stabilizer that comprises a glycosyl naringenin as an active ingredient mixed and/or contained in a starting material of the emulsion composition, an intermediate product of the emulsion composition, and/or the emulsion composition manufactured.

Abstract: The present invention aims to provide a saccharide composition suitable for a cyclic-tetrasaccharide-containing starch syrup which has low viscosity, low water activity, low coloration property, and low calorie content, and which is unlikely to cause precipitation of crystals of saccharides during storage, and to provide a use of the composition and a production method for the composition.

Abstract: The present invention aims to provide a novel glycosyl hesperetin, which is significantly reduced in miscellaneous tastes characteristic of conventional products containing glycosyl hesperetin, and a method for producing the same and uses thereof; and the objects are solved by providing a glycosyl hesperetin which comprises glycosyl hesperetin in an amount of 90% or more by mass but less than 100% by mass, on a dry solid basis, but it does not substantially contain furfural, and a method for producing the same and uses thereof.

Abstract: The present invention addresses the problem of providing a gel-type skin external composition containing a L-ascorbic acid derivative, which has excellent shape retention, stability, and excellent feeling of use even when salts coexist in the composition. The above problem is solved by providing a gel-type skin external composition containing a L-ascorbic acid derivative, a nonionic synthetic water-soluble polymer, and a natural water-soluble polysaccharide.

Abstract: The present invention addresses the problem of providing a novel heat stress relieving agent that can be taken easily, conveniently and safely even by infants and the elderly, who are susceptible to heat stress such as heat illness, that rapidly promotes sweating in a heat stress environment, and that prevents, alleviates, or improves symptoms and disorders caused by heat stress, such as heat illness. The above problem is solved by providing a heat stress relieving agent containing glycosyl hesperetin as an effective ingredient, and a basal body temperature maintaining agent containing glycosyl hesperetin as an effective ingredient.

Abstract: Disclosed is a recombinant thermostable enzyme which has a molecular weight of about 54,000-64,000 daltons and a pI of about 5.6-6.6, and releases trehalose from non-reducing saccharides having a trehalose structure as an end unit and a degree of glucose polymerization of at least 3. The enzyme has a satisfactorily-high thermostability, i.e. it is not substantially inactivated even when incubated in an aqueous solution (pH 7.0) at 85° C. for 60 min, and this facilitates the production of trehalose on an industrial scale and in a satisfactorily-high yield.
