Patent number: 6455096Abstract: A hard candy with a relatively-high moisture and hardness, and process of the same. The levels of moisture and hardness are respectively from about 3.5% to about 10%, and at least 4.0 kg as a penetration strength when measured by a rheometer. The hard candy is characteristic of a relatively-high transparency, insubstantial stickiness to the teeth, and lesser stimulation to the teeth.Type: GrantFiled: April 23, 1999Date of Patent: September 24, 2002Assignee: Kabushiki Kaisha Hayashibara Seibutsu Kagaku KenkyujoInventors: Naohiko Katagiri, Satoshi Iritani, Toshio Miyake

Patent number: 6159529Abstract: A method for enhancing the salty-taste and/or delicious-taste of food products and materials thereof, containing sodium chloride, by using trehalose without imparting any unsatisfactory taste and flavor. The content of trehalose to be incorporated is usually in the range of about 1.5-12% to the food products and materials thereof, on a dry solid basis. The method can reduce the content of sodium chloride used in conventional salty food products without losing their satisfactory salty-taste.Type: GrantFiled: June 19, 1997Date of Patent: December 12, 2000Assignee: Kabushiki Kaisha Hayashibara Seibutsu Kagaku KenkyujoInventors: Yukio Uchida, Satoshi Iritani, Toshio Miyake

Patent number: 5622859Abstract: Disclosed is an alkali-treated bagasse prepared by softening a bagasse with calcium oxide together with or without sodium hydroxide while preventing the substantial decomposition of cellulose and hemicellulose, a bagasse feed and a fermented bagasse feed prepared from the alkali-treated bagasse, and their preparations and uses as well as bacteria for fermenting the alkali-treated bagasse. These bagasse and bagasse feeds save sugar-refinery industries from the difficulties to treat bagasse deemed as an unutilized industrial waste, and livestock farming industries from the shortage of roughage, and further is extremely significant in agriculture, industries of sweetening products, feed industries and livestock product processors. A bacterium strain particularly useful for the fermentation is Enterococcus faecium FERM BP-4504.Type: GrantFiled: March 28, 1996Date of Patent: April 22, 1997Assignee: Kabushiki Kaisha Hayashibara Seibutsu Kagaku KenkyujoInventors: Satoshi Iritani, Masakazu Mitsuhashi, Hiroto Chaen, Toshio Miyake

Patent number: 5565435Abstract: A novel .alpha.-glycosyl quercetin, wherein at least equimolar D-glucose residues are attached to quercetin via the .alpha.-bond, has a satisfactory water-solubility, light tolerance and stability, and exerts the inherent activity of quercetin in vivo. The .alpha.-glycosyl quercetin is prepared by a process comprising subjecting a solution containing quercetin and an .alpha.-glucosyl saccharide to the action of a saccharide-transferring enzyme to form an .alpha.-glycosyl quercetin, and recoverying the resultant .alpha.-glycosyl quercetin. The .alpha.-glycosyl quercetin can be advantageously used in combination with other materials in food products, cosmetic compositions and pharmaceutical compositions as a highly-safe and natural vitamin P-enriched agent, yellow-color-imparting agent, antioxidant, deodorant, stabilizer, quality-improving agent, antiseptic, prophylactic agent, therapeutic agent and ultraviolet-absorbing agent.Type: GrantFiled: February 15, 1995Date of Patent: October 15, 1996Assignee: Kabushiki Kaisha Hayashibara Seibutsu Kagaku KenkyujoInventors: Masaru Yoneyama, Satoshi Iritani, Toshio Miyake

Patent number: 5529779Abstract: Disclosed is a novel purified propolis-extract which contains the effective components of propolis in a readily absorbable- and utilizable-form in vivo, as well as having an absorbance ratio (A.sub.310 /A.sub.660) of higher than 4,000, having a relatively-high quality and a satisfactory handleability, color, flavor, taste and antiseptic activity, and being substantially free of resins, waxes and dark colored impurities. The purified propolis-extract is prepared by a process comprising decreasing a readily water-soluble organic solvent in its aqueous high-concentration solution containing a crude propolis-extract to a prescribed concentration to form an upper-layer liquid containing the effective components of propolis and a lower-layer liquid containing a viscous sediment, and separating and recoverying the upper-layer liquid.Type: GrantFiled: May 16, 1994Date of Patent: June 25, 1996Assignee: Kabushiki Kaisha Hayashibara Seibutsu Kagaku KenkyujoInventors: Shoich Hamada, Satoshi Iritani, Toshio Miyake
