  • Publication number: 20200253245
    Abstract: The invention relates to food preparation methods. The technical result of implementing the invention consists in preserving the quality of the food, saving energy used for heating, and reducing the time required for preparation of food. The technical result is achieved by heating of entire volume of water or food inside a container, and subsequently dividing the water or food into a portion to be heated further and a remaining part, where the division occurs after a certain period of time after heating has started. The water or food may be in the liquid, semi-liquid or solid state when placed inside the container.

    Abstract: The present invention relates to an extract obtained by extracting useful components containing equol from an equol-containing fermented soybean hypocotyl, and to a method for producing the same. The present invention makes it possible to efficiently obtain useful components containing equol from the fermented soybean hypocotyl by subjecting an equol-containing fermented soybean hypocotyl to extraction using an ethanol aqueous solution as an extractant. The present invention reduces the content of saponin, which causes an unpleasant taste, by sequentially subjecting the equol-containing fermented soybean hypocotyl to extraction using an ethanol aqueous solution and ethanol, while efficiently extracting equol and glycitein.
