摘要:
Disclosed are: a skin whitening agent including, as an active ingredient, a complex of carbonic acid and/or bicarbonic acid, a metal and an LF, a decomposition product of the complex, or a complex of carbonic acid and/or bicarbonic acid, a metal and a decomposition product of an LF; and a food, beverage, feed or cosmetic including the skin whitening agent. The skin whitening agent can be ingested safely on a daily basis, and exhibits an excellent skin whitening effect.
摘要:
The present invention aims to provide a skin-beautifying agent, food, beverage, or feed for skin-beautification which has cosmetic effects such as moisturizing and beautifying the skin as well as preventing skin roughness and wrinkles by oral intake. The present invention further aims to provide a skin-beautifying agent containing a milk-derived phospholipid as an effective ingredient, and to provide food, beverage, or feed for skin-beautification containing the skin-beautifying agent. The milk-derived phospholipid is preferably a composition prepared from milk or milk material containing 40 to 70% by weight of lipid in a total solid content and containing 30% or more by weight of milk-derived phospholipid.
摘要:
It is intended to find novel pharmaceutical use of sphingomyelin and to provide preventive or therapeutic agents for various diseases as well as a food and drink product and feed comprising any of these agents. The present invention provides a pharmaceutical agent which contains sphingomyelin as an active ingredient and is any of the following agents: 1) a sialomucin secretion promoter, 2) an agent for preventing drunken sickness (hangover), 3) an antiallergic agent, 4) an antioxidant, 5) an agent for defending against infection, 6) a hair growth agent, 7) a therapeutic agent for demyelinating disease, 8) an anti-pigmentation agent, 9) an anti-inflammatory agent, and 10) an agent for improving learning ability. The present invention also provides a food and drink product or feed, characterized by comprising the agent. It is preferred that the sphingomyelin should be derived from milk.

摘要:
Skin quality is improved by orally administering a cystatin and/or a degraded product of cystatin in an amount of 10 μg/day or more per adult, or applying a composition that includes a cystatin and/or a degraded product of cystatin in an amount of 0.001 to 2 wt % based on a total amount of the composition.
摘要:
A skin collagen production-promoting agent includes a milk protein fraction having following properties (a) to (c) as an active ingredient: (a) being derived from milk, (b) containing proteins having a molecular weight determined by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) of 6000 to 150,000 daltons, and (c) containing 12 to 14 wt % of basic amino acids with respect to the constituent amino acid composition, and having a basic amino acid/acidic amino acid ratio of 0.5 to 0.7.
摘要:
The present invention provides a method of preparing frozen or lyophilized microbial cells which can inhibit damages or death of microbial cells and have high viabilities in freezing or lyophilizing process.A method of preparing frozen or lyophilized microbial cells having high viabilities, characterized by using a permeate which is obtained by filtering milk or whey with ultra-filtration (UF) membrane, as a protecting agent at the time of freezing or lyophilizing.
摘要:
A problem of the present invention is to provide a skin collagen production-promoting agent without safety problems. Another problem of the present invention is to provide a skin collagen production-promoting food or drink product and a skin collagen production-promoting cosmetic product containing such a substance. TGF-β and/or a TGF-β degradation product, which is acquired by degrading TGF-β with a protease such as pepsin, pancreatin, etc., are used as a skin collagen production-promoting agent or the active ingredient of a skin collagen production-promoting food or drink product and a skin collagen production-promoting cosmetic product. The aforementioned TGF-β and/or TGF-β degradation product have an effect of increasing the collagen content of the skin.
