PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide abone growth accelerators and bone growth accelerating food edible as food, free from adverse effect, and useful for preventing osteoporosis, by using foods grown in nature. SOLUTION: The purpose is accomplished by the bone growth accelerators isolated from mushrooms and purified having a chemical structure depicted by (22E,24R)-ergosta-7,22-diene-3β,5α,6β-triol and the bone growth accelerating foods using the mushrooms containing the ingredients depicted by the above chemical structure.
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for obtaining a rice enriched with γ-aminobutyric acid capable of being rapidly increased in its content an its processed food. SOLUTION: The contents of the γ-aminobutyric acid is increased by adding pyridoxal phosphate and/or sodium pyridoxal phosphate, glutamic acid and/or sodium glutamate to rice with germs and treating at 25-55 deg.C and pH 3-7. A processed food of the rice is obtained by heating the rice at 100-121 deg.C. Ingredients for Kamameshi (seasoned rice cooked with many ingredients in a small pot) comprise the first bag packaging washed rice with germs, and the other bag packaging liquid seasoning comprising pyridoxal phosphate and/or sodium pyridoxal phosphate, glutamic acid and/or sodium glutamate and salt.
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for regulation by which rice improving a taste even by cooking without washing and dipping the rice is produced without using special mechanical equipment and to provide the regulated rice. SOLUTION: The method for regulation is carried out as follows. The rice is dipped in water in a short time, then drained and the rice grains are dipped in ethanol or hydrous ethanol or sprayed with the ethanol or hydrous ethanol. Water of the rice grains is replaced with the ethanol or hydrous ethanol. The ethanol is then removed to carry out drying and the rice grains with ≤16% moisture content are obtained. The object is achieved with the rice in which rice flour or rice starch or other rice, etc., is mixed in the rice regulated by the method. COPYRIGHT: (C)2007,JPO&INPIT
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a means for efficiently and safely supplying an amylase which is a raw starch decomposing enzyme. SOLUTION: A Saccharomyces cerevisiae strain which highly expresses the amylase is obtained by isolating an amylase gene from a Streptomyces E-2248 strain by PCR, determining a base sequence of the enzyme gene, structuring a highly yeast-expressing vector containing the enzyme gene, and further structuring a transformant of Saccharomyces cerevisiae containing the vector.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To enhance the active oxygen-scavenging ability of food which uses rice. SOLUTION: The food with active oxygen-scavenging ability is obtained by mixing powder of unpolished rice, soybean powder, soymilk or powder of tea and water and then heating the mixture at 60-90°C for 30-50 min.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain noodles having stabilized tone, can be used as starch adhesive because of the increment of the gelatinized content, easily colored with rice powder and buckwheat flour by adding pH adjusted hot water to the colored grains or the like and grain flour for noodle, kneading, noodle making. SOLUTION: The subject noodle is obtained by adding 55 to 70% of the gross flour of hot water >=70 deg.C of pH 2 to 4 to the color concentration treated colored grain flour or the like and the grain flour for noodle, kneading and making noodle by a conventional process.
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for producing cooked rice and a method for producing a rice-flour processed product comprising using inexpensive and safe food raw material to improve their properties in production of the cooked rice and the rice flour processed product. SOLUTION: The method for producing each of cooked rice and a rice-flour processed product comprises using Grifola frondosa, Grifola frondosa powder or Grifola frondosa extract to soak it in water so as to improve properties of cooked rice and a rice-flour processed product when ordinarily cooking rice or producing the rice flour processed product.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a new amylase effective for preventing the contamination with sundry germ, free from the gelatinization of starch and active at 50-60°C which is a temperature range sufficiently controllable by the waste steam of a plant, and provide a microorganism capable of efficiently producing the amylase, and a method for the efficient production of the amylase with the microorganism. SOLUTION: This invention relates to the amylase derived from the genus Streptomyces and having a specific amino acid sequence, Streptomyces E-2248 strain having the productivity of the amylase and a method for the production of the amylase are also disclosed.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for efficiently producing an unconventional fermented food containing γ-aminobutyric acid at a high concentration, i.e., γ-aminobutyric acid-enriched fermented food. SOLUTION: This method for producing the γ-aminobutyric acid-enriched fermented food comprises, when producing the fermented food, adding to the raw material of the fermented food a culture product of lactic acid bacterium Lactobacillus brevis IFO12005 strain in a medium containing sprouted brown rice bran and/or rice bran, and glutamic acid or its salt, and fermenting the product followed by maturing. The γ-aminobutyric acid-enriched fermented food produced by the method is also provided. COPYRIGHT: (C)2005,JPO&NCIPI
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To develop a comparatively simple method for controlling microorganisms, and for reducing the microorganisms present in vegetables or cereals and to use the method in various field such as a packet material of green soybeans and germinated brown rice. SOLUTION: The number of live germs such as coliform bacteria attached to wild vegetables and cereals is reduced by adding >=0.1% calcined calcium preparation thereto, and treating the added product at >=60 deg.C in the method for sterilizing wild vegetables, vegetables and cereals. The sterilization of the coliform bacteria requires >=60 deg.C, and the sterilization of Bacillus subtilis requires >=80 deg.C. The method is suitable for treating the wild vegetables such as bracken, osmund and dogneedle, vegetables such as tomato, field pea and green soybeans, and cereals such as brown rice, buckwheat and wheat. The wild vegetables and cereals added with 0.1% preparation of the calcined calcium, and sterilized at >=60 deg.C can be supplied by a packet shape.
