PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a gelatin molded product comprising a base in a state with little deterioration and capable of sustainedly releasing the base over a long period of time and to provide a method for producing the molded product. SOLUTION: The gelatin molded product comprises gelatin and the base dispersed in the gelatin which is cross-linked only in a surface layer of the molded product. The method for producing the gelatin molded product comprises a mixture fluid preparing step of preparing the mixture fluid containing the base and the gelatin, a molding step of molding the mixture fluid, a gelation step of cooling the gelatin in the mixture fluid, making the gelatin gel and thereby preparing a mixture gel and a cross-linking step of adding a cross-linking agent to the mixture gel, advancing a cross-linking reaction of the mixture gel kept in a gelled state and thereby cross-linking the gelatin only in the surface layer of the mixture gel. As a result, the gelatin molded product in which the gelatin is cross-linked only in the surface layer is produced by the steps. COPYRIGHT: (C)2008,JPO&INPIT

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a methane gas concentration device which can obtain a methane gas with a high concentration at a high recovery rate. SOLUTION: The methane gas concentration device 1 where, from a mixed gas at least comprising a methane gas and carbon dioxide, the carbon dioxide is separated, so as to concentrate the methane gas, includes: a first concentration apparatus 11 where the methane gas is concentrated by a separation membrane allowing the carbon dioxide to preferentially permeate from the mixed gas; a second concentration apparatus 12 where the methane gas is further concentrated by a separation membrane allowing the carbon dioxide to preferentially permeate from a non-permeating gas in the first concentration apparatus 11; and a recovery apparatus 13 where the methane gas is recovered by a separation membrane allowing the carbon dioxide to further preferentially permeate from a permeating gas in the first concentration apparatus 11, thus, the methane gas with a high concentration can be obtained at a high recovery rate.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for efficiently manufacturing many collagen sheets collectively without damaging smoothness and flatness of a sheet surface. SOLUTION: After forming a collagen solution frozen layer 11 by pouring a collagen solution into a tray 10 and freezing it, a water frozen layer 12 is formed by pouring water on the collagen solution frozen layer and freezing it and then, a collagen solution frozen layer 11 is formed by pouring the collagen solution on the water frozen layer 12 to be frozen. A block 13 is formed by alternately repeating the process of forming the water frozen layer 12 and the process of forming the collagen solution frozen layer. By vacuum-drying the block 13, moisture contained in the respective collagen solution frozen layer 11 is sublimated and removed and they are changed into porous collagen sheets respectively. Additionally, the water frozen layer 12 is sublimated and removed, and the respective collagen sheets are obtained in the state of being directly laminated. COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for producing odorless collagen from which an odor component is extracted and removed without damaging the triple helix structure of collagen, and the odorless collagen obtained thereby.SOLUTION: Dried collagen 3 is immersed into carbon dioxide in a liquid state or in a supercritical state, which does not contain an organic solvent, at the inside of a cleaning tank 1 whose inside temperature lies in the range of 0 to 40°C for 5 to 60 min, and an odor component included in the dried collagen 3 is extracted and removed.
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an adhesive having low toxicity and excellent convenience. SOLUTION: The adhesive includes a base compound and a crosslinker. The base compound includes, as a main ingredient, gelatin which is soluble in water at ambient temperature and has a denatured collagen with a thermal denaturation temperature of ≤25°C. Since this adhesive employs a base compound containing a specific gelatin as a main ingredient, it enables rapid mixing and reaction of the base compound and the crosslinker without requiring preheating, and can be economically and stably produced.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a production method for obtaining endotoxin-reduced gelatin having an endotoxin content reduced to an amount capable of being used in bodies without largely changing the molecular structure of the gelatin. SOLUTION: This method for producing endotoxin-reduced gelatin obtained from collagen originated from fishes or shellfishes comprises a gelatin-producing process for thermally changing collagen into gelatin, and an endotoxin-inactivating process for heating the gelatin in an environment in a pH range of 5.0 to 9.0 to inactivate the endotoxin in the gelatin, thus obtaining the endotoxin-reduced gelatin.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a collagen production method by which collagen can efficiently be mass-produced from the skin of fishes. SOLUTION: This method for producing collagen comprises the processes of: insolubilizing the epidermal layer of the fishes skin and a cutis layer portion of the epidermal layer side including pigmentary cells; swelling at least a part of the cutis layer which is not insolubilized; and recovering the swollen cutis layer. In the method, it is possible to include a filtering process and also a centrifuging process. COPYRIGHT: (C)2004,JPO&NCIPI
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for manufacturing a collagen sheet controlling a transferring amount of collagen to external matter such as the skin. SOLUTION: The method for manufacturing the collagen sheet comprises: a step of spraying a collagen dispersion to a substrate; a step of freeze-drying the substrate onto which the collagen dispersion is sprayed; and a step of heating the freeze-dried substrate under reduced pressure. Preferably, the substrate is a nonwoven fabric. COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT
