An object of the present invention is to provide a skin temperature elevating agent that can further effectively raise a skin temperature. Another object is to provide a cosmetic composition, a food and a sundry article having a skin temperature elevating effect. A skin temperature elevating agent of the present invention is selected from one or more selected from a group consisting of: an extract of Japanese peppermint; an extract of clary sage; dihydro-β-ionol; and geraniol, and thus it can raise a skin temperature of a cheek. The skin temperature elevating agent according to the present invention is also selected from one or more selected from a group consisting of: an extract of Japanese peppermint; an extract of juniper berry; and 4-methoxystyrene, and thus it can raise a skin temperature of a hand fingertip. Hence, the skin temperature elevating agent according to the present invention can further effectively raise a skin temperature. A composition, a food, and a sundry article according to the present invention contain the skin temperature elevating agent, and thus have the skin temperature elevating effect.

The Present Invention relies upon a physical process for preparing reduced fat, high fiber, high protein, low calorie roasted snack nuts. The process of the Present Invention exhibits significantly lower process times and higher yields than the prior art processes. The process comprises expelling the oil from nutmeat kernels (defatting) using a novel pressing process that takes less than a minute. The defatting process deforms the nuts. The nuts are reformed to their original shape using water. Then the reformed nuts are annealed using cold water to produce hardened nuts. The nuts are then dried and post-processed with coatings and roasting using state-of-the-art technology. The yield of snack nuts produced by this process is generally greater than eighty percent.
