Abstract: The present invention aims to provide a beverage with increased fullness. In particular, the present invention aims to provide a non-alcoholic beer-taste beverage with increased fullness. The present invention relates to, for example, a non-alcoholic beer-taste beverage containing adenosine at a concentration of 8 ppm or more.

Abstract: The present invention aims to provide a beverage with increased fullness. In particular, the present invention aims to provide a non-alcoholic beer-taste beverage with increased fullness. The present invention relates to a non-alcoholic beer-taste beverage containing 2?-deoxyadenosine at a concentration of 1 ppm or more.

Abstract: A glycated protein is disclosed having a glycated side chain amino group of lysine, the glycated protein having a glycated side chain amino group of at least one of lysine at position 160 or lysine at position 189 of an amino acid sequence represented by SEQ ID NO: 1 of: (a1) a protein having the amino acid sequence represented by SEQ ID NO: 1; (a2) a protein having an amino acid sequence wherein 1 to 9 amino acids are deleted, substituted, inserted, and/or added in a region other than at least one of lysine at position 160 or lysine at position 189; and (a3) a protein having an amino acid sequence having at least 98% identity with the amino acid sequence represented by SEQ ID NO: 1, in which at least one of an amino acid at position 160 or an amino acid at position 189 is lysine.

Abstract: The present invention aims to provide a non-alcoholic beer-taste beverage with an enhanced rich flavor and a reduced sour flavor using a grain-derived raw material. The present invention relates to a non-alcoholic beer-taste beverage having an alcohol content of less than 1.0%, the non-alcoholic beer-taste beverage containing a glycated protein which is a grain-derived protein, has a glycated amino group of lysine, and has a molecular weight of 35 to 50 kDa.

Abstract: The present invention provides a novel organic acid glycoside existing in coffee beans and a use thereof. wherein, each of R1 to R7 is independently selected from a group consisting of H, OH, NH2, OCH3, OC(O)CH3, and NHCOCH3; A is selected from C1 to C6 alkyl or C1 to C6 alkenyl, and the C1 to C6 alkyl or C1 to C6 alkenyl may be substituted by methyl or ethyl.

Abstract: Coffee beans having an increased flavor component, a method for increasing a flavor component in coffee beans, and a method for evaluating coffee beans are provided. A fatty acid methyl ester content of coffee beans is increased.

Abstract: A method is disclosed for identifying or analyzing, easily and in a short time, the molecular weight, the chemical species of molecules, and the structure of molecules, of a protein present on the superficial layer of cells or in cells, or a substance interacting with the protein. This method comprises the steps of: bringing the cells having the protein and the substance interacting with the protein into contact with each other to cause the substance to interact with the cells; purifying the cells, with the cells and the substance in an interacting state; irradiating the purified cells with a laser to ionize the substance directly; and analyzing the ionized substance by mass spectrometry.

Abstract: The present invention provides an electrophotographic toner free of metal such as chromium. A novel electrostatic image developing toner is provided, comprising as a charge-controlling agent one or more selected from the group consisting of compounds represented by formulae (I) and (II): ##STR1## wherein A, B and R are as defined in the specification.
