  • Patent number: 8012524
    Abstract: The present invention aims at providing novel spread and edible oil having excellent characteristics as a spread or an edible oil. An edible oil and a suitable emulsifier, in a water-in-oil type emulsion is filled with a suitable gas propellant into an aerosol container, and the emulsion is discharged as mousse form at the time of jetting.

  • Publication number: 20090017176
    Abstract: The invention relates to a process of producing fermented milk or milk powder, including removing ions from milk, and reducing the dissolved oxygen concentration in the milk, followed by subjecting the milk to a heat treatment, as well as concentrated milk and milk powder with good flavor and an effect of improving physico-chemical properties as a raw food material, which have never been found in conventional concentrated milk and milk powder.

  • Publication number: 20060078659
    Abstract: The present invention aims at providing novel spread and edible oil having many excellent characteristics as a spread or an edible oil, new mouth-feel and flavor which are not encountered in the conventional spread and edible oil, and excellent storage property and excellent operationality. As a result of the investigation, the inventors of the present invention found that, when an edible oil and a suitable emulsifier, or a composition made into a water-in-oil type emulsion in use is filled with a suitable gas propellant into an aerosol container, a discharged food is foamed to be in the mousse foam at the time of jetting. The inventors further found that the obtained mousse-type food can be used as novel mousse-type spread and mousse-type edible oil which not only shows excellent characteristics as a spread and an edible oil, but also has a new mouth-feel and flavor which are not encountered in the conventional food, and further show excellent storage property and excellent operationality.

  • Patent number: 6027720
    Abstract: Novel hG-CSF polypeptide derivatives having an amino acid sequence derived from the amino acid sequence of the human granulocyte colony stimulating factor polypeptide by substitution of at least one amino acid by a different amino acid and/or deletion of at least one amino acid, recombinant plasmids containing a DNA fragment insert coding for any of these hG-CSF polypeptide derivatives, microorganisms carrying one of such plasmids, methods of producing the hG-CSF polypeptide derivatives using the microorganisms, a monoclonal antibody binding to the hG-CSF polypeptide derivative, and chemically modified hG-CSF or derivatives thereof are disclosed.

  • Patent number: 5912032
    Abstract: A process for producing a calcium-supplemented milk drink, by adding to cow's milk, a whey mineral being of a calcium content of 2 to 8% by weight and produced by removing the protein and lactose from whey and concentrating the resulting whey by ultrafiltration and/or microfiltration. By the process, there is produced a calcium-supplemented milk drink having good flavor with no precipitate of calcium salts or being provided with attractive flavor, and being capable of passing through the sterilization process to be prepared into a commercially aseptic state.
