| 20080207747 | Lipase Inhibitors - The present invention provides lipase inhibitors containing flavan-3-ol monomers or acylates thereof derived from teas as well as foods and beverages and medicines containing said inhibitors. More specifically, the present invention provides lipase inhibitors containing at least one of flavan-3-ol monomers represented by the formula: | 08-28-2008 |
| 20080275258 | Epigallocatechin Dimers or Trimers Having Lipase Inhibitory Activity and/or Antioxidant Activity - It is intended to provide a lipase activity inhibitor which shows a high inhibitory activity on pancreatic lipase, regulates the absorption of fat from meals and/or contributes to the regulation or prevention of obesity, a food and a drink containing the same, and a tea-origin lipase inhibitor being highly preferable and not worsening taste. It is also intended to provide a method of producing the lipase inhibitor. It is further intended to provide antioxidative agent. To overcome these problems, an epigallocatechin dimer (oolong homo bis flavans) or trimer is added to foods or drinks. Thus, the absorption of fat from meals can be regulated and an antioxidative effect can be obtained. The above compounds can be produced by reacting epigallocatechin gallate with formaldehyde in the presence of an acid. | 11-06-2008 |
| 20080306284 | Lipase Inhibitors - The present invention provides lipase inhibitors containing dimers having an epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) unit derived from teas as well as foods and beverages and medicines containing said inhibitors. More specifically, the present invention provides lipase inhibitors containing at least one of proanthocyanidins represented by the formula: | 12-11-2008 |
| 20080317821 | Lipase Inhibitors - The present invention provides lipase inhibitors containing dimers of flavan-3-ols derived from teas as well as foods and beverages and medicines containing said inhibitors. More specifically, the present invention provides lipase inhibitors containing at least one of assamicains represented by the formula: | 12-25-2008 |
| 20090042812 | Lipase inhibitors - The present invention provides lipase inhibitory agents comprising a gallotannin or ellagitannin component(s) isolated from teas or Tellima grandiflora as well as foods and beverages and medicines containing said inhibitory agents. | 02-12-2009 |
| 20090092733 | Compositions for Food or Beverage with Improved Hygroscopicity - The object of the present invention is to provide a composition for food and beverage comprising a hygroscopic powdery material having improved hygroscopicity as well as food and beverage containing the composition. | 04-09-2009 |
| 20090156838 | Method of Refining Episesamin - There is disclosed an episesamin refining method in which a mixture of sesamin components that contains sesamin, episesamin and the like is brought into contact with an aqueous medium to form a slurried mixture, and thereafter the solids are separated from the mixture or the slurried mixture is dissolved in a suitable aqueous medium under heating and, thereafter, the solution is slowly cooled to recrystallize, thereby yielding an episesamin-enriched composition with an increased relative episesamin content. By the present invention, episesamin can be conveniently and efficiently refined from a mixture of sesamin components that mainly comprises sesamin and episesamin. | 06-18-2009 |
| 20090163583 | Process and an Apparatus for Producing Episesamin-Rich Compositions - To provide a process and an apparatus by means of which a composition that contains episesamin in a concentration greater than 50 wt % on the basis of the sum weight of sesamin and episesamin can be produced conveniently and at high yield. | 06-25-2009 |
| 20090247625 | COMPOSITIONS CONTAINING LIGNAN-CLASS COMPOUNDS - An object of the invention is to provide compositions containing lignan-class compounds as dissolved at high concentrations. The compositions having lignan-class compounds such as sesamin and episesamin dissolved in solvent oils or fats that contain triglycerides of middle-chain fatty acids having 8-12 carbon atoms, preferably triglycerides of caprylic acid and/or capric acid and/or lauric acid can contain the lignan-class compounds stably at higher concentrations than when other solvents are used and, hence, have high enough value as foods and pharmaceuticals. | 10-01-2009 |
| 20110118344 | Novel compound having inhibitory effect on lipase - This invention provides, a novel polyphenol compound having lipase inhibitory activity derived from tealeaves, a process for the preparation of the compound, and foods and/or beverages and pharmaceutical drugs containing the compound. | 05-19-2011 |
