Abstract: To provide an immunomodulator in which DNA can be administered orally or percutaneously, not through injection, or can be taken daily like a food, or an immunomodulator food or feed. DNA derived from cells of procaryotes such as Bacillus subtilis, lactic acid bacteria, amino acid producing bacteria and Escherichia coli is added to food or molded to be able to administer the same orally, percutaneously or permucosally, or formed into food, feed or the like.

Abstract: An antimicrobial composition for eucaryotic microorganisms and method of suppressing the growth of eucaryotic microorganisms requires a procaryotic DNA extract. The antimicrobial composition is effective against numerous types of eucaryotic microorganisms and can be safely added to food and cosmetic products.

Abstract: Novel immobilized cells are prepared by immobilizing microbial cells in a gel carrier wherein an absorbent for organic solvents harmful to the cells is dispersed. A method for normally culturing these immobilized cells is utilized in a medium that contains the organic solvents or to which organic solvents are added without any previous sterilization. The present invention makes it possible to realize an ideal fermentation process without requiring a sterilizing process.

Abstract: Novel immobilized cells are prepared by immobilizing cells of at least one aerobic microorganism and cells of at least one anaerobic microorganism in a single gel immobilizing carrier. The immobilized cells are utilized in a fermentation method. Many useful fermentation products can be readily and economically obtained by using the immobilized cells which accommodate both aerobic and anaerobic metabolic function simultaneously.

Abstract: A stabilized vitamin powder comprises one or both of gliadin and glutenin and a vitamin(s).It is preferable that the powder comprises 100 parts by weight of gliadin and/or glutenin and 1 to 51 parts by weight of vitamins. In the invention, the vitamins may be clathrated and/or coated with gliadin and/or glutenin.

Abstract: A stabilized oil and fat powder comprises one or both of gliadin and glutenin and a oil or fat. The oil and fat may have been partially or all totally clathrated and/or coated with gliadin and/or glutenin.

Abstract: Disclosed is an antiseptic agent for food and drink, which comprises, as an effective ingredient, a pectin decomposition product having a molecular weight of 600 to 5000. This antiseptic agent is very effective for improving the preservability of food and drink. If at least one member selected from the group consisting of ethanol, glycine, sodium acetate, ascorbic acid, sodium ascorbate, glycerin fatty acid esters, sodium chloride and ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid salts is used in combination with this antiseptic agent, its antifungal activity can further be enhanced.

Abstract: A processed food of soybean comprises soybean or a processed soybean and a fish oil containing a highly unsaturated fatty acid, such as sardine oil, cod liver oil, mackerel oil, salmon oil and saury oil.

Abstract: Oils and fats, especially highly unsaturated, are prevented from oxidation by the step of adding to the oils and fats 0.01 to 10 percent by weight, based on the weight of the oils and fats, of an antioxidant component which has been obtained by extracting with a polar solvent a raw material such as herb spices, residues after collection of essential oil from herb spices, oleo-resin extracted from herb spices with a polar solvent, oleo-resin extracted from herb spices with a non-polar solvent and residues after extraction of herb spices, steam-distilling the extract and collecting the insoluble from the residues of the steam distillation. Soft capsules containing the treated oils and fats are also provided.

Abstract: A foul breath preventive agent comprising cyclodextrin as an active component.
