  • Patent number: 8697165
    Abstract: The present invention provides means of allowing an edible oil to contain useful components derived from an oil-containing raw material, such as polyphenols, efficiently. The present invention is a process for producing an edible oil, wherein when the edible oil is expressed from an oil-containing raw material, a diacylglycerol-containing oil or fat is added to the oil-containing raw material so that the diacylglycerol content in the oil or fat obtained after the oil expression is 4% by weight or more.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20040146620
    Abstract: The present invention provides a method of sterilizing a food packaging container or a food charging system, which comprises a chemical sterilizing treatment which involves contacting an aqueous sterilizing solution containing a hypochlorous acid-containing, chlorine-based sterilizing agent and a pH adjusting agent with the surface of a food packaging container or the surface of a line pipe, an instrument and a chamber in a food packaging system and a heat sterilizing treatment which involves increasing the temperature of the surface to be sterilized, the two sterilizing treatments being carried out simultaneously or in separate steps. The invention also provides a sterilizing device which has a predetermined sterilizing effect on a wide variety of microbial species, can be easily handled, does not corrode a treated surface over a prolonged period of time, is free of a pungent smell and does not require any special treatment for disposal of waste liquor.

  • Patent number: 4200814
    Abstract: A multiplier with Hall element is provided with a Hall element with a pair of control current input terminals and a pair of Hall output terminals, means by which current is converted into magnetic field and the converted magnetic field is applied to the Hall element, and at the same time the voltage to be multiplied by the current is converted into control current and the converted control current is fed to control current input terminals, and a differential amplifier circuit including first and second operational amplifiers having non-inverted input terminals connected to the Hall output voltage terminals, and a third operational amplifier having non-inverted and inverted input terminals to which the output of the first and second operational amplifier is applied. The differential amplifier circuit removes the in-phase components of the Hall output voltage and then amplifies it.
