Patent number: 9963581Abstract: Here is provided a method of producing a starch gel-containing food, the method comprising the steps of: treating starch granules with an enzyme at a temperature of about 10° C. or higher and about 70° C. or lower to obtain an enzyme-treated starch; mixing a food material, the enzyme-treated starch and water to obtain a mixture; heating the mixture thereby gelatinizing the enzyme-treated starch in the mixture; and cooling the mixture containing the gelatinized enzyme-treated starch thereby gelling the starch to obtain a starch gel-containing food, wherein the enzyme is selected from the group consisting of amyloglucosidase, isoamylase, ?-glucosidase, ?-amylase having a characteristic capable of improving a gel forming ability of a starch, and cyclodextrin glucanotransferase.Type: GrantFiled: August 1, 2012Date of Patent: May 8, 2018Assignee: Glico Nutrition Co., Ltd.Inventors: Takashi Ichihara, Junya Fukuda, Masakazu Kimura, Kenichi Kurita

Publication number: 20150268408Abstract: An LED classification device (21) classifies LEDs, the LEDs each including a combination of an LED element that emits a primary light and a phosphor that, upon excitation by the primary light, emits a secondary light having a longer wavelength than the primary light, the LEDs each emitting a combined light of the primary light and the secondary light, those ones of the LEDs whose primary lights having their chromaticities falling within a predetermined chromaticity range being classified as LEDs for use in a backlight of a liquid crystal display apparatus. A coefficient calculating section (26) and a corrected chromaticity calculating section (27) calculate, for all of the LEDs to be classified, correction values for the chromaticities as obtained on the assumption that the primary lights have traveled through a color filter of the liquid crystal display apparatus, and correct chromaticities by subtracting the correction values from chromaticities obtained for all of the LEDs to be classified, respectively.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 8, 2013Publication date: September 24, 2015Applicant: SHARP KABUSHIKI KAISHAInventors: Masayuki Ohta, Masataka Miyata, Kazuo Tamaki, Takashi Nakanishi, Kenichi Kurita, Kiyoshi Nagata, Masaki Tatsumi
