摘要:
Provided are a food, a drink and a food/drink material having improved EGCg absorbability, and a method of producing the same, by improving the absorbability of EGCg to be taken in. The contents of caffeine and/or epigallocatechin gallate are regulated so that the ratio by mass of caffeine to epigallocatechin gallate contained in a food, drink, food/drink material or oral ingesta comes close to 0.4.
摘要:
A method of measuring an amount of a polyphenol compound in a liquid sample containing at least one polyphenol compound comprises a step of separating the liquid sample into each component, a step of adding at least one reagent capable of specifically reacting with the polyphenol compound to emit light, into the components separated in the separating step, thereby to perform a reaction, and a step of detecting the light emitted by the reaction, wherein the separation in the separating step is conducted by a liquid chromatography and the reagent used for the reaction is the combination of an oxidizing agent of the polyphenol compound, a heme compound and a hydrogen acceptor. A device suitable for performing the above method is also disclosed.

摘要:
A method and apparatus for measuring a lipid peroxide, in which a sample containing lipids is subjected to a liquid chromatography to separate the lipids into lipid classes. The lipid classes are brought into contact with a luminescent reagent which specifically reacts with a lipid hydroperoxide contained in the lipid classes to generate a light in an amount corresponding to a content of the hydroperoxide. The light is optically detected by a photodetector.
摘要:
A tube container molding apparatus in which a cylindrical tube is inserted into a split mold in its closed state so that the end section of the tube comes into contact with a cavity face of the split mold. A core is then advanced to fit into the tube from its rear end, and finally a resin melt is introduced into the cavity formed by the cavity face of the split mold and the end face of the core.When the resin melt is injected into the cavity, a tube holding piece pushes the tube against the core to prevent the tube from being drawn out of the cavity.Midway during the advance of the core into the tube, the tube is held by the tube holding piece and the further advance of the tube is made together with the core. Thus, the forward end section of the tube is bent inward to a prescribed width.
