Patent number: 8807127Abstract: A steam-generating warming article 1 which has a steam generating element 2 making use of chemical energy and is adapted to supply steam while in contact with a human body. The article 1, while in contact with the body, maintains the skin surface temperature at 38° to 49° C. for 3 to 15 hours and cumulatively generates 0.5 to 12 mg/3 hr·cm2 of steam. The steam-generating warming article 1 is used to improve the human body's physiology. The steam generating element 2 is preferably a heat generating sheet prepared by incorporating an aqueous electrolyte solution into a molded sheet containing an oxidizable metal, a reaction accelerator, and a fibrous material.Type: GrantFiled: November 25, 2009Date of Patent: August 19, 2014Assignee: Kao CorporationInventors: Michihito Igaki, Koichi Okisaka, Ichiro Sakamoto

Patent number: 5709901Abstract: The present invention provides an ester composition which can tenderize a stringy hard meat such as beef from abroad to a proper tenderness, the processing time, etc. and a meat tenderizer comprising said ester composition and protease without giving a special control over the amount of an enzyme. The present invention also provides a meat modifier which can provide a tender, juicy and less stringy meat that can be easily served and a food meat or meat product processed with such a meat modifier. A meat modifier is also provided, comprising an ester composition of a C.sub.12-22 saturated or unsaturated fatty monoglyceride with succinic acid or diacetyltartaric acid having an acid value of from 30 to 120. The present invention provides a meat modifier comprising the ester composition and a metalloprotease, which no longer causes round to be tenderized after 24 hours of storage at a temperature of 20.degree. C.Type: GrantFiled: August 11, 1995Date of Patent: January 20, 1998Assignee: Kao CorporationInventors: Koichi Okisaka, Manabu Toi, Yoko Sakurai, Yutaka Shoga, Hirofumi Takigawa

Patent number: 5514405Abstract: A frying oil or fat composition employable for producing fried foodstuffs having satisfactory crisp and well acceptable moderate oily or fatty taste comprises not more than 4.0 weight % of an emulsifier dissolved in an oil or a fat. The emulsifier should be chosen to make the oil or fat composition show an interfacial tension of not more than 7 mN/m at 80.degree. C., 3 sec. after the time when the oil or fat composition is mixed with water to form an interface between a phase of the oil or fat and an aqueous phase. A frying oil or fat composition containing a sugar fatty acid ester of a specifically selected composition, or a combination of a sugar fatty acid ester and a polyglycerol fatty acid ester and/or a diglyceride is also employable for the same purpose.Type: GrantFiled: September 19, 1995Date of Patent: May 7, 1996Assignee: Kao CorporationInventors: Hideki Yokomichi, Yuji Okauchi, Takeshi Oka, Koichi Okisaka, Hirokazu Kokumai, Shin Koike, Kenta Mori, Mika Tabeta
