PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a cold sense enhancing agent for enhancing cold sense induced by a cold sensing substance such as menthol, to provide a composition containing the cold sense enhancing agent, and to provide a cold sense enhancing method to use the cold sense enhancing agent.SOLUTION: There are provided the cold sense enhancing agent containing a Myrstica fragrans seed extract obtained from Myrstica fragrans seed by using water, a polar solvent, a nonpolar solvent or a mixture of two or more of the above solvents; the cold sensing substance-containing composition containing the cold sense enhancing agent; and a cold sense enhancing method to use the cold sense enhancing agent.
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an excellent potential-dependent cation channel inhibitor.SOLUTION: The potential-dependent cation channel inhibitor or masking agent uses, as effective component, a phthalide analog expressed by formula (1) [in the formula, X denotes -O-Y (wherein, Y denotes a 1 to 14C alkyl group or a 2 to 20C alkoxyalkyl group for which a hydrogen atom or a hydroxy group may substitute) or -NRR(wherein, Rand Rare each the same or different and denote a hydrogen atom or a 1 to 10C alkyl group)].
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an excellent inhibitor for a potential-dependent cation channel.SOLUTION: The inhibitor for a potential-dependent channel uses a plant selected from celery and basil or an extract thereof as an active ingredient.
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for producing purified ginger oleoresins which are reduced in viscous components and coloring components, and improved in irritation. SOLUTION: The method for producing purified ginger oleoresin includes dispersing ginger oleoresin in 60-100 mass% of an organic solvent solution, and bringing the purified ginger oleoresin into contact with activated carbon which has a pore size distribution of 15-40 Å.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a lypolysis promoter, a slimming agent or a cellulite-ameliorating agent which can promote the decomposition of accumulated adipose tissues to show a slimming effect and therefore is effective for the reduction or prevention of obesity or the amelioration of inclination to stoutness. SOLUTION: The lypolysis promoter comprises a plant Huang Hua Cai (a plant belonging to the genus Hemerocallis) or an extract from the plant and a xanthine derivative as active ingredients. Preferably, the lypolysis promoter comprises 1 pt.mass of the plant Huang Hua Cai (a plant belonging to the genus Hemerocallis) or the extract from the plant and 0.0001 to 10 pts.mass of a xanthine derivative as active ingredients.
