摘要:
It is intended to provide an effective cariostatic material which inhibits dental plaque formation as well as onset of dental carries. A material for inhibiting enamel demineralization containing, as the active ingredient, a proanthocyanidin-like polyphenol originating in hop bract or immature apple, which effectively inhibits not only dental plaque formation but also the dental caries process including proliferation of bacteria, formation of acids by the bacteria and enamel demineralization. Also, foods, drinks and oral care goods with the use of the above substance as an enamel demineralization inhibitor are provided.

摘要:
The present invention provides a protectant of periodontal membranes for inhibiting the destruction of periodontal tissues, particularly periodontal membranes by participation of Porphyromonas gingivalis. Further, it provides an agent for oral cavity or food and drinks containing the protectant of periodontal membranes having effects of prevention and therapy of diseases involving damage of periodontal membranes. A protectant of periodontal membranes is proanthocyanidins, particularly proanthocyanidins derived from apple premature fruits or hop bracts having an effect decreasing the damage to periodontal membranes caused by Porphyromonas gingivalis, and an eating and drinking product containing the protectant of periodontal membranes as an effective component.

It is intended to provide a process for efficiently producing highly purified hop bract polyphenol using hop bract as the starting material, and foods, drinks, cosmetics and drugs with the use of the highly purified hop bract polyphenol. Namely, a process for producing hop polyphenol which comprises extracting hop bract with an aqueous alcohol solution, concentrating the extract to give a residual alcohol concentration of 0.5 to 2% and then centrifuging and/or filtering the concentrate. This polyphenol is usable in foods, drinks, cosmetics, drugs, etc.
摘要:
A method for producing a preparation that can be used in the prevention and treatment of inflammatory diseases, including periodontitis caused by P. gingivalis. Specifically, the invention provides a method for producing a hop preparation comprising the following steps (1) to (3): (1) adjusting the pH of a polyphenol-containing liquid prepared from hop bracts to 6 to 7 and passing the liquid through a gel-type synthetic resin to allow components including useful substances to be adsorbed onto the resin; (2) washing the resin obtained in the step (1) with a 30 to 60% aqueous ethanol solution to elute unwanted substances, leaving the useful substances adsorbed to the resin; and (3) washing the resin obtained in the step (2) with a 70% or higher aqueous ethanol solution or ethanol to elute the components including the useful substances and forming the preparation from the eluted fraction.
摘要:
It is intended to develop a technique for producing a water-soluble polyphenol at high purity and with high efficiency in a short time from hop bract or the like which is a by-product in the beer brewing. A method for preparation of a purified plant extract comprising steps of treating a plant extract with a clay mineral such as bentonite and removing any divalent cations from the resulting product; a method for producing a polyphenol comprising steps of passing the purified plant extract through a column to adsorb polyphenols onto the column and passing a solvent though the column to elute a water-soluble polyphenol from the column; and a method for producing a water-soluble hop bract polyphenol comprising steps of adding bentonite to a hop bract extract and allowing the resulting mixture to stand under acidic conditions, performing solid-liquid separation to produce a supernatant, purifying the supernatant through a column to give a pholyphenol-containing fraction, cooling the fraction and allowing the cooled fraction to stand to cause the precipitation of water-insoluble ingredients and performing solid-liquid separation to give the desired water-soluble hop bract polyphenol.
摘要:
A technique used to determine a falling state of a falling body, such as whether the falling body reaches a falling termination speed and falls uniformly or falls with a change in the speed is provided. In particular, a method of determining a falling state of a falling body passing through a measured substance inserted into a measuring container is provided, the method including: measuring a first elapsed time which is a time interval between extreme values of two potentials generated in a first coil pair when the falling body passes through the first coil pair and a second elapsed time which is a time interval between extreme values of two potentials generated in a second coil pair when the falling body passes through the second coil pair; and determining the falling state of the falling body by comparing the first elapsed time with the second elapsed time.
摘要:
A drug, quasi drug, food or drink product containing a proanthocyanidine derived from hop, hop bract or apple has the effect of neutralizing or attenuating a vacuolacting toxin produced by Helicobacter pylori, thus preventing, preventing recurrence or treating digestive diseases in which Helicobacter pylori participates, as well as killing Helicobacter pylori, while providing few side effects and being free of risk of the occurrence of a tolerant strain.
摘要:
A novel configuration for a falling body viscometer using an electromagnetic induction sensor, wherein the time at which a falling body passes through the electromagnetic induction sensor can be specified with enhanced accuracy. This enables the falling speed of the falling body and in turn the viscosity of a fluid to be measured with increased accuracy. A falling body viscometer is provided with a first pair of coils located at the outer periphery of a measuring container so as to be separated from each other in the vertical direction, and also with a second pair of coils located at the outer periphery of the measuring container so as to be separated from each other in the vertical direction and to be located below the first coil pair, a specified distance away therefrom.
