Abstract: Disclosed are the novel glycolipoprotein gintonin isolated and identified from ginseng, a method for preparing the same, and uses thereof. Gintonin causes a transient increase in intracellular free Ca2+ level, which in turn activates endogenous Ca2+-activated chloride channel to elevate intracellular calcium levels. Therefore, the novel glycolipoproteins are useful in the therapy and prophylaxis of calcium deficiency-associated diseases as well as effectively inducing calcium-dependent physiological activities, including adaptogenic activity, immunostimulatory activity, aphrodisiac activity, neuroprotection and neuroactivation, angiogenesis, and antidiabetic activity.

Abstract: The present invention is concerned with an edible plant oils from which saturated fatty acids were removed and manufacturing process thereof. In order to remove saturated fatty acids from the edible plant oils; 1) Saturated and unsaturated fatty acids bound on same triglyceride molecules of edible plant oils were segregated each other as alkylesters of fatty acids by conventional transesterification reaction in which edible plant oils were treated with large excess of absolute C1˜C8 alkanol under the presence of catalytic amount of alkali- or alkali-earth metal-C1˜C8 alkoxide. 2) The alkyl-esters of mixed fatty acids were treated with C1˜C8 alkanol solution of urea to remove the alkylester of saturated fatty acids by conventional fractional crystallization as urea complexes of saturated fatty acid-alkylesters.

Abstract: Disclosed is a denatured spirulina of being removed the unpleasant smell of spirulina, of maintaining its nutrients undestroyed, of being changed the unpleasant deep blue color from light blue to rose pink, and of showing higher suspensible nature to cold water, characterized in that spirulina is suspended in distilled or purified water to destroy its cell membranes by osmolytic treatment, so the chromoprotein phycocyanin leaks out of the cell membranes; chromoprotein in the spirulina is partially denatured by heating the resulting mixture; condensing, condensing under reduced pressure or finally freeze-dried the resulting mixture.
