Publication number: 20090047369Abstract: Disclosed herein is a composition for the improvement of memory and learning functions, which contains 4-carbon dicarboxylic acid or a salt thereof and an emulsifying agent. The composition shows a more remarkable effect when it additionally contains a concentrate or alcohol extract of maesil. Because the composition improves learning and memory functions, it is effective for the prevention and treatment of amnesia or dementia and can also be applied as a health supplement food or functional food for this prevention and treatment.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 13, 2007Publication date: February 19, 2009Applicant: Eubioslab Co., LtdInventor: Jin Kyu Park

Publication number: 20090047305Abstract: The present invention relates to a composition containing as its main component proanthocyanidin oligomer to which a substance having a phloroglucinol ring structure or resorcinol ring structure has been bonded, and reduced in the molecular weight, which is obtained by heating plant materials containing proanthocyanidin polymer or extract thereof with a substance having a phloroglucinol ring structure or resorcinol ring structure in an acidic aqueous solution, production method thereof, and uses of the composition in health products and pharmaceutical products. According to the invention, proanthocyanidin oligomer having physiological activity, to which a substance having a phloroglucinol ring structure or resorcinol ring structure has been bonded and reduced in the molecular weight to such a level that the oligomer can be absorbed into living body, which has been conventionally difficult to obtain at high yield from plant raw materials, can be produced efficiently and easily.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 24, 2006Publication date: February 19, 2009Applicants: NAGASAKI UNIVERSITY, USAIEN PHARMACEUTICAL CO., LTD., AMINO UP CHEMICAL CO., LTD.Inventors: Takashi Tanaka, Gen-ichiro Nonaka, Isao Kohno, Hajime Fujii, Takashi Nakagawa, Hiroshi Nishioka
