摘要:
Object: To provide a homogeneous sugar composition containing sucrose, which is widely used as a sweetener in the food industry, and D-psicose, which has physiological effects such as lowering body fat. Also to provide a food or drink, a drug or quasi-drug, or a cosmetic in which a sucrose mixture that contains D-psicose is used. Configuration: The sugar composition containing sucrose and D-psicose, wherein crystals of the sucrose is coated with the D-psicose in a crystalline or amorphous state. The content of the D-psicose is 1 part by weight or more and 50 parts by weight or less relative to 100 parts by weight of the total weight of the sucrose and the D-psicose.
摘要:
Problem: To develop a method for producing a novel sweetener containing glucose, fructose, and psicose, which is produced from glucose liquid sugar using an isomerase and an epimerase; use of the novel sweetener as a food or drink material; and a novel sweetener capable of preventing obesity caused by the intake thereof. Means of Resolution: An isomerase and an epimerase are allowed to act on glucose liquid sugar produced in a glucose liquid sugar production plant to thereby produce D-psicose, thereby providing a novel sweetener (product) that maintains the degree and quality of sweetness of a glucose-fructose mixed solution and never causes obesity, a method for producing the same, and use of the same.
摘要:
Disclosed is a process for producing a crystalline sugar comprising D-psicose and D-allose. Also disclosed is a process for producing the sugar. A complex crystalline sugar comprising D-psicose and D-allose. The compositional ratio between D-psicose and D-allose in the sugar is about 1:1 to 1:4. A process for producing a complex crystalline sugar comprising D-psicose and D-allose, the process comprising producing a complex crystalline sugar comprising D-psicose and D-allose from a sugar solution containing D-psicose and p-allose and collecting the complex crystalline sugar. The solvent of the sugar solution used in the production of the complex crystalline sugar is water or a mixture of water and ethanol. The sugar solution containing D-psicose and D-allose is produced by a process comprising reacting D-psicose with L-rhamnose isomerase to convert D-psicose into D-allose. The L-rhamnose isomerase is derived from a strain (IPOD FERM BP-08593) belonging to Pseudomonas stutzeri.
摘要:
Screening for a glucokinase-activating substance among rare sugars and providing a composition for treating disordered conditions in association with glucokinase activity, the composition containing the glucokinase-activating substance as the active ingredient. A promoting agent of glucokinase transfer from nucleus to cytoplasm, the promoting agent containing D-psicose and/or D-tagatose as the active ingredient, or a composition for preventing the onset of disordered conditions in association with glucokinase activity or for therapeutically treating the disordered conditions, which is in a form selected from a group consisting of food additives, food materials, drinks and foods, health drinks and foods, pharmaceutical product and feeds in blend with D-psicose and/or D-tagatose as the active ingredient for use in preventing the onset of disordered conditions in association with glucokinase activity or for therapeutically treating the disordered conditions. The disordered conditions in association with glucokinase activity are selected from impaired glucose tolerance, type 2 diabetes mellitus, insulin resistance, abnormal lipidemia, the metabolic syndrome and obesity. The composition is in a pharmaceutical form, and contains D-psicose and/or D-tagatose together with one or more pharmaceutically acceptable carriers.
摘要:
A drug or food for diminishing the increase of neutral fat in the blood after meals. It contains as an active ingredient a water-soluble indigestible starch decomposition product comprising at least 35 mass% indigestible ingredient. This water-soluble indigestible starch decomposition product is taken simultaneously with or separately from a high fat diet.
摘要:
Object: To provide an agent for sustaining satiety or a method for sustaining satiety, with which an individual's food intake is reduced by sustaining satiety, and as a result, pathological conditions such as obesity due to overeating can be prevented and improved. Means for Resolution: An agent for sustaining satiety containing D-psicose as an active ingredient and a method for sustaining satiety by the ingestion of D-psicose. Advantageous Effect: Satiety can be sustained although the increase in blood glucose level after eating is suppressed. A means for sustaining satiety which is useful for those who are anxious about their blood glucose level and those who are health conscious can be provided.
摘要:
A thickening composition which contains specific amounts of a metal salt-enclosing dextrin and a thickening polysaccharide and which has a good dispersibility, raises the viscosity rapidly, and has an excellent thickening effect can be produced by the steps of obtaining the metal salt-enclosing dextrin by mixing, dissolving, and homogenizing a dextrin and a metal salt in water, followed by drying, and adding the metal salt-enclosing dextrin to the thickening polysaccharide followed by mixing or granulation. The thickening composition makes it possible to provide a thickening composition which has a good dispersibility, raises the viscosity rapidly, and offers an improved thickening effect per unit mass in a wide variety of water-containing foods such as water, teas, refreshing beverages, dairy beverages, soups, and thick liquid foods.
摘要:
The present invention relates to a mineral-absorption promoter comprising hardly digestible dextrin or a derivative thereof, as well as food and feed containing the same. The mineral-absorption promoter of the invention can easily be applied to food, has resistance to digestive enzymes secreted by mammals and a function of promoting the absorption of minerals through intestinal or digestive tracts.
