摘要:
Provided are a preparation process of a purified green-tea extract capable of easily and efficiently removing a turbidity component contained in a green tea extract; a purified green-tea extract prepared by the preparation process; and a packaged beverage containing the purified green-tea extract. The preparation process of a purified green-tea extract containing, in the solid content thereof, from 36 to 99 mass % of non-polymer catechins comprises bringing a green tea extract into contact with a mixed solution containing an organic solvent and water at a mass ratio of from 65/35 to 97/3 and active carbon and/or acid clay or active clay, adjusting the organic solvent/water mass ratio of the resulting solution to from 0/100 to 85/15, and then separating the turbidity component thus separated.

Provided is a non-tea-based, packaged beverage which includes a sour seasoning, contains catechins at high concentration, and even after stored over along term, can still give a refreshing feeling specific to a sour taste. The non-tea-based, packaged beverage is free of the persistence of a sour taste, which is experienced when taken in sport scenes, and is excellent in mouth refreshment. Even in a form filled in an oxygen-permeable, clear container, the non-tea-based, packaged beverage shows excellent color tone stability. The non-tea-based, packaged beverage contains a purified product of green tea extract added to it. The purified product comprises non-polymer catechins in its solid constituents and has a content weight ratio of (B) oxalic acid to (A) the non-polymer catechins [(B)/(A)] in a range of from 0 to 0.002. The non-tea-based, packaged beverage comprises the following ingredients (A) to (D): (A) from 0.03 to 0.6 wt % of non-polymer catechins, (B) oxalic acid or a salt thereof at an ingredient (B)/ingredient (A) of from 0 to 0.02, (C) caffeine at an ingredient (C)/ingredient (A) weight ratio of from 0 to 0.16, and (D) from 0.03 to 1.0 wt % of a sour seasoning, and has a pH of from 2 to 6.

A non-tea-based, packaged beverage with a green tea extract mixed therein contains the following ingredients (A) and (B): (A) 0.06 to 0.5 wt. % of non-polymer catechins, and (B) 9 to 13.5 mM of citric acid or a salt thereof. Its pH is from 3.4 to 4.2. The non-tea-based, packaged beverage contains catechins at a high concentration, is reduced in bitterness and astringency, is suited for long-term drinking, and is excellent in the stability of bitterness and astringency and also in the feeling as it passes down the throat, and moreover, its color tone remains stable over a long term even when packed in a clear package and stored at high temperatures.

In ultrasonic diagnostic equipment processing signals echo-reflected from ultrasonic pulses beamed into a patient and providing composite display of patient-related diagnostic information including organic information, the comprehensive diagnostic information is discretely stored as various imaging data into separate display memories, and is furthermore externally storable through VTR recording such that the information can be retrieved for regeneration. A selector selects between either real-time imaging derived from the display memories, or regeneration imaging obtained from a pseudo-video combined signal stored in the VTR, for input to a color palette as an imaging processor which color encodes and combines data for composite imaging. Separate imaging modification processes are post real-time executable upon the discretely regenerated imaging data retrieved from the VTR for altered display on a monitor of the equipment.

The packaged beverage of the present invention is the best suited beverage for health promotion, because drinking of it permits transfer of a large amount of catechins to the blood form the beverage and their absorption in the body is excellent.
摘要:
A cationic group-containing copolymer is provided which possesses excellent thixotropy and exhibits high adsorbability to the skin, hair, etc. and, when incorporated as a thickener in cosmetic articles, manifests a very satisfactory tactile sensation. The cationic group-containing copolymer is characterized in that the viscosity at 25.degree. C. of the aqueous solution prepared by incorporating the copolymer in deionized water at a concentration of 0.5 wt. % is in the range of 0.3-20 Pa.multidot.sec. at a shear rate of 1 sec.sup.-1 and in the range of 0.01-5 Pa.multidot.sec. at a shear rate of 10 sec.sup.-1 and the viscosity at a shear rate of 1 sec.sup.-1 is higher than the viscosity at a shear rate of 10 sec.sup.-1. This cationic group-containing copolymer is obtained by particularly using a cationic group-containing vinyl monomer, a hydrophilic nonionic group-containing vinyl monomer such as N,N-dimethyl (meth)acrylamide or N,N-diethyl (meth)acrylamide, and a cross-linking vinyl monomer containing at least two vinyl groups in the molecular unit thereof as essential component monomers and radically polymerizing the essential component monomers. A thickener made of the copolymer is also disclosed.
