Abstract:
Gels are prepared from a biologically produced beta-1,3-glucan-type polysaccharide by exposing a basic solution of the polysaccharide to an atmosphere of a gaseous acid anhydride.
Abstract:
ATTRITED MICROCRYSTALLINE CELLULOSE IS ADMIXED AND CODRIED WITH A PROTECTIVE HYDROCOLLOID SUCH AS GELATIN, SODIUM ALGINATE AND THE LIKE. THE HYDROCOLLOID SHOULD BE EMPOLYED IN AN AMOUNT SUFFICIENT TO PRODUCE A SEDIMENT LESS THAN ABOUT 20, (BASIS DRY WEIGHT OF MICROCRYSTALLINE CELLULOSE EMPOLYED) UPON RE-HYDRATION OF THE CO-DRIED PRODUCT.
Abstract:
A hydrogel-forming material for preparing hydrogel even after a process of stirring gelator in medium heat to dissolve and disperse the gelator, and cooling the mixture to room temperature with stirring, a hydrogel material wherein a gel can reform by standing at room temperature even after a hydrogel obtained using the material is converted sol by shaking. The hydrogel-forming material with lipid peptide gelator includes Formula (1) or a pharmaceutically usable salt thereof: R1 is a C9-23 aliphatic group, R2 is a hydrogen atom or C1-4 alkyl group optionally having a C1-2 branched chain, R3 is a —(CH2)n—X group, n is 1 to 4, and X is an amino-group, guanidino group, CONH2 group, 5-membered ring optionally having 1-3 nitrogen atom(s), 6-membered ring optionally having 1-3 nitrogen atom(s), or fused heterocycle composed of 5-membered ring and 6-membered rings optionally having 1-3 nitrogen atom(s), water, and fatty acid salt as additive.
Abstract:
The present invention provides a sesame-containing acidic emulsified liquid seasoning capable of sufficiently giving a roasted sesame flavor even after storage. The sesame-containing acidic emulsified liquid seasoning according to the present invention comprises ground roasted sesame, gum substance, egg yolk and edible oil and has a viscosity of 0.1 to 5 Pa·s and a total light transmittance, which is determined by measuring the turbidity of the sesame-containing acidic emulsified liquid seasoning using integrating sphere-type electrophotometry, of 1.5 to 10%.
Abstract:

Abstract:
An apparatus for producing gelled pearls includes: a housing with at least one opening into which a flavored liquid is provided; external components; and internal components. The external components include: a first ingress port through which a first refill pack is coupled; and a dispenser with tubing through which a processed solution is expelled into a gelling bath. The internal components include: a mixing tank for blending the flavored liquid with the first solution; a first flow valve fluidly coupled with the mixing tank and directing the flavored liquid into and out of the mixing tank; a second flow valve fluidly coupled with the mixing tank and directing flow of a proportional amount of the first solution into the mixing tank; and a microcontroller device.
Abstract:
The invention includes compositions and methods for improving exercise performance or improving recovery of muscle tissue after exercise performance. One method includes administering a composition of a plant-derived nitrate and a cocoa-derived product daily and before exercise. The synergistic combination of nitrate and cocoa polyphenols acts to improve recovery from a strenuous exercise bout.
Abstract:
A fat blend comprises: (i) a first fat having a solid fat content at 25° C. of at least 75% and comprising combined SOS and SSO fats in an amount of greater than 86% by weight, wherein S is saturated fatty acid having from 16 to 18 carbon atoms and O is oleic acid; and (ii) a second fat having a SOS content of greater than 75% by weight and a StOSt content of greater than 70% by weight. The fat blend has a solid fat content at 20° C. of greater than 80% and a solid fat content at 35° C. of less than 5%. The fat blend is useful as a cocoa butter replacer.
