Abstract: There are provided a derivative of a metal-encapsulated fullerene having application as a functional material, superconducting material, electronics material or pharmaceutical material, and a method of synthesizing this derivative. The derivative of a metal-encapsulated fullerene having the following structure is synthesized by adding a substituted diazomethane to a metal-encapsulated fullerene and denitrifying in a solvent.

Abstract: A photosensitive member having stable electrophotographic characteristics can be constituted by an electroconductive support and a photosensitive layer disposed thereon and containing a novel fullerene compound having an organosilicon group as a charge-transporting substance. The fullerene compound may preferably have a polyhedral structure, particularly that of Buckminsterfullerene (C.sub.60) and be represented by the formula: C.sub.60 (A).sub.n . . . (2), wherein A denotes an organosilicon group represented by the formula: ##STR1## (wherein R.sub.1-1 and R.sub.1-2 independently denote a hydrogen atom, a substituted or unsubstituted alkyl group, a substituted or unsubstituted aryl group, a substituted or unsubstituted alkoxy group, a substituted or unsubstituted silyl group, a substituted or unsubstituted germyl group, a halogen atom, or a group constituting a substituted or unsubstituted ring by a mutual combination of R.sub.1-1 and R.sub.

Abstract: A novel, efficient and simple process for preparing low-allergenic fractionated soybean proteins by treating soybean proteins under acidic conditions with an aqueous solution in which a salt is dissolved to selectively concentrate Gly m Bd 30k in a precipitation fraction and collecting a supernatant fraction.

Abstract: A process for producing tofu-like food is disclosed, which comprises preparing a mixture containing soybean curd, soybean protein, water, and fats and oils and coagulating the mixture by heating. The resulting tofu-like food has physical properties suitable for cooking in a large quantity as well as pleasant taste and palatability.

Abstract: A process for producing a soybean protein powder having improved reduced dustability and excellent water dispersibility which comprises spraying an aqueous liquid preferably containing a surfactant on to a starting soybean protein powder material to moisten and agglomerate particles of the powder material in a fluidized bed and drying the powder material simultaneously or subsequently.
