Abstract:
Provided is an oil or fat composition rich in diacylglycerol, including a high content of oleic acid in a constituent fatty acid thereof and having a good appearance at normal temperature. Specifically, the oil or fat composition satisfies the following items (1) to (4): (1) the oil or fat composition includes diacylglycerol in an amount of 20 mass % or more; (2) constituent fatty acids of the diacylglycerol include oleic acid in an amount of 30 mass % or more; (3) the mass ratio of the content of (B) 1,3-dipalmitin diacylglycerol to the content of (A) 1,2-dipalmitin diacylglycerol, [(B)/(A)], in the diacylglycerol is 1.45 or less; and (4) the mass ratio of the content of (D) 1,3-diacylglycerol to the content of (C) 1,2-diacylglycerol, [(D)/(C)], in the diacylglycerol is 1.2 or more.
Abstract:
The present invention provides oral dosage compositions, and methods of making thereof, which contain an edible oil, preferably containing an omega-3 fatty acid, and admixed therein one or more water soluble vitamins and/or minerals, for example vitamins B6, B9, and/or B12. The present invention also provides a method of making the composition comprising mixing the edible oil and one or more water-soluble vitamins and/or minerals to form a suspension or emulsion of the water-soluble vitamins and/or minerals in the edible oil. The mixture can be inserted into capsules, gelcaps, or caplets for oral consumption. An additional aspect of the invention is that the edible oil can coat particles of the water-soluble vitamins and/or minerals, which may preferably provide the vitamins and/or minerals improved absorption in the body due to increased resistance to degradation in the acidic environment of the stomach.

Abstract:
There are disclosed lecithin products that can impart emulsion capacity and emulsion stability to emulsions, and also emulsions containing the lecithins that have good emulsion capacity and good emulsion stability.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a novel oil-in-water nanoemulsion on vegetable oil basis, which is particularly suitable for providing fat-soluble substances. The nanoemulsion consists exclusively of natural substances and is therefore particularly suitable for oral application. In addition, the nanoemulsion is characterized by high long-term stability and shelf life. The nanoemulsion can be used in the field of pharmacology or cosmetics as well as an additive in foodstuffs. A method for producing the novel oil-in-water nanoemulsion is also provided.
Abstract:
An emulsified composition containing methyl cellulose, a starch material, edible oil or fat, and an emulsifying material, in which the emulsifying material contains protein, and the starch material is one or two kinds selected from the group consisting of a component (A) and a component (B) below.
component (A): a powdery material satisfying the following conditions (1) to (4), (1) a starch content is equal to or more than 75% by mass, (2) a low molecular weight starch (a peak molecular weight of equal to or more than 3×103 and equal to or less than 5×104) having an amylose content of equal to or more than 5% by mass is included, a content of the low molecular weight starch being equal to or more than 3% by mass and equal to or less than 45% by mass, (3) a degree of swelling in cold water at 25° C. is equal to or more than 5 and equal to or less than 20, and (4) a content under a sieve with openings of 3.35 mm and on a sieve with openings of 0.038 mm is equal to or more than 60% by mass and equal to or less than 100% by mass; and component (B): a starch material, a raw material starch of which is one kind or two or more kinds selected from the group consisting of a cornstarch, a tapioca starch, a wheat starch, and a pea starch.
Abstract:
An apparatus and system for extracting essential oil from plant material, and in particular, cannabis plant material, is described. The apparatus has top and bottom rollers that apply heat and pressure to the plant material as the plant material passes through the rollers for the extraction of essential oil. The top and bottom rollers are powered by a hand crank or motor, and the top and bottom rollers are heated by heaters regulated by a temperature controller. Also described is a method that uses a combination of heat, pressure, and speed for efficient extraction of high quality essential oil from plant material, and in particular, cannabis plant material.
Abstract:
Provided are a liquid seasoning in which degradation of taste and flavor due to storage is suppressed, and a method of producing the same. The method of producing a liquid seasoning comprises the following steps (1), (2), and (3): (1) at a temperature of 80° C. or less, adding an aqueous solution of at least one selected from the group consisting of ascorbic acid, hydroxyacid, and salts thereof to a fat or oil and stirring the mixture; (2) bringing the fat or oil after the step (1) into contact with water vapor under reduced pressure; and (3) bringing the fat or oil obtained in the step (2) as an oil phase component into contact with an aqueous phase.
Abstract:
The invention is directed to the use of alternan as texturizing agent, particularly as fat or oil replacer in foodstuffs or cosmetic preparations, a homogeneous composition comprising alternan and water, the use of the homogeneous composition as texturizing agent in foodstuffs or cosmetic preparations, and foodstuffs and cosmetic preparations comprising alternan as texturizing agent or a homogeneous composition comprising alternan.
