Abstract: The present invention provides a composition for an oily foamable aerosol, characterized in that the composition comprises a fat or oil, and a polyglycerol fatty acid ester and/or an organic and fatty acid esters of glycerol; and an aerosol comprising the composition as defined in above and a propellant.

Abstract: A coenzyme Q10-containing composition comprising a coenzyme Q10 and a hydrophilic fatty acid ester of a polyhydric alcohol; a coenzyme Q10-containing composition comprising a coenzyme Q10, a lipophilic fatty acid ester of a polyhydric alcohol and a hydrophilic fatty acid ester of a polyhydric alcohol; and a food or beverage comprising the coenzyme Q10-containing composition as defined above.

Abstract: A method for efficiently producing theanine is provided, wherein glutamine and ethylamine are reacted by Pseudomonas citronellosis GEA FERM BP-8353, which is newly separated/selected from natural soil, belongs to the genus, Pseudomonas, and the species citronellosis and is a theanine producing bacteria with activities of transferring the ?-glutamyl group. Theanine production increased by four times by using glutaminase derived from the bacteria in a mixture of glutamine and ethylamine at a pH in a range of 9-12 in comparison with conventional methods.

Abstract: To provide a new method for efficiently producing theanine, by which theanine is simply and industrially advantageously produced. Pseudomonas citronellosis GEA, which is newly separated/selected from natural soil, belongs to the genus, Pseudomonas, and the species citronellosis and is theanine producing bacteria with activities of transferring ?-glutamyl group. Theanine is extremely efficiently produced by using glutaminase derived from the bacteria in a mixture of glutamine and ethylamine at pH 9-12 in comparison with a conventional method.

Abstract: Method of using L-Theanine for acceleration of regeneration after stressing. A quantity of at least 50 mg of L-Theanine is administered after physical or mental stressing. For example, L-Theanine can be administered in the form of a food stuff, such as a functional food with L-Theanine additive, or in the form of a complete drink.

Abstract: The present invention provides a composition for an oily foamable aerosol, characterized in that the composition comprises a fat or oil, and a polyglycerol fatty acid ester and/or an organic and fatty acid esters of glycerol; and an aerosol comprising the composition as defined in above and a propellant.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for producing a frozen food and a frozen food produced by the process. There are provided a method for producing a frozen food characterized by subjecting a food to a contact treatment with an emulsifier-added fat or oil, and thereafter freezing the food; a frozen food produced by the method; and a method of preventing fluctuation in a water content of a frozen food, characterized by subjecting a food to a contact treatment with an emulsifier-added fat or oil, and thereafter freezing the food.

Abstract: A process for producing popcorn comprising the steps of (a) mixing a polyglycerol fatty acid ester having an HLB of 10 or less made from a polyglycerol having an average degree of polymerization of 2 to 6 and oleic acid, an edible fat or oil and corn as raw materials; and (b) heating the mixture obtained in step (a) to give popcorn.
