  • Publication number: 20240138455
    Abstract: An object of the invention is to provide a seasoning which has a flavor inherent in a soy sauce and which can still have a fruity aroma that is hardly felt with conventional soy sauces even after pasteurization, a method for suppressing a heat-deteriorated smell due to a food material to be felt when a container-packed composition containing the food material is heated in a sealed space and the like. The object is achieved by: a soy sauce or a soy sauce-like seasoning in which the content of at least one kind of ?-lactone is 100 ppb to 60,000 ppb; a method for suppressing a heat-deteriorated smell including a step of suppressing a heat-deteriorated smell due to a food material by heating a container-packed composition containing the food material and at least one kind of ?-lactone; and the like.

  • Patent number: 10409536
    Abstract: An image forming apparatus includes an image forming unit, a display unit, an operation unit, and a controller. The controller causes, before printing an image, the display unit to reduce and display, with respect to each of setting items for printing, images to each of which a processing indicated by one of the setting items is applied. When a user designates one of the images to which the processing indicated by one of the setting items is applied, the controller accepts an instruction to print the image, reflecting the processing indicated by the setting item corresponding to a designated image, and causes the display unit to reduce and display the images to each of which the processing indicated by a remaining setting item not designated by the user, and the processing indicated by the designated setting item corresponding to the designated image, are applied, with respect to remaining setting items.

  • Publication number: 20180034985
    Abstract: An electronic apparatus includes a control unit that includes a processor, and based on operation of the processor in accordance with a control program, receives a touch operation on an operation screen. If a change in a predetermined state occurs in the electronic apparatus, the control unit causes a notification image indicating details of the change to be displayed on the operation screen. The control unit causes a small-sized medium-term notification image to be displayed on the operation screen upon receiving of a request for reducing a size of a medium-term notification image displayed on the operation screen and causes a small-sized long-term notification image to be displayed in a predetermined area in which a display of display information displayed by the operation screen is not hindered if the control unit receives a request for reducing a size of a long-term notification image displayed on the operation screen.
