Provided are a new hyaluronic acid production accelerating agent and a method for producing the hyaluronic acid production accelerating agent. This hyaluronic acid production accelerating agent comprises a cypress essential oil derived from a trunk material of cypress as an active ingredient. The cypress essential oil contains at least α-pinene, δ-cadinene, α-cadinol, and T-murolol. In a GC-MS analysis of the cypress essential oil, the peak area ratio of α-pinene is at least 20% of the total, and the sum of the peak area ratios of δ-cadinene, α-cadinol, and T-murolol is at least 25% of the total.
The present invention addresses the problem of suppressing, in oil and fat, heating discoloration of metal ions and an antioxidant sparingly soluble in oil and fat. The problem is solved by a composition for suppressing heating discoloration of metal ions and an antioxidant sparingly soluble in oil and fat, the composition being characterized by containing an organic acid monoglyceride.
According to the present invention, there are provided: a contained edible oil in which deterioration in quality prior to an expiration date can be reliably stopped, and which has exceptional storage stability; and a method for producing the contained edible oil. This contained edible oil is produced through a method including: an inert gas ultrafine bubble (UFB) supply step for blowing an inert gas into a post-refinement edible oil until the numeric concentration of UFBs having a grain diameter of less than 1 μm reaches 80,000,000/mL or greater, and setting the oxygen saturation of the oil to 1 mg/L or less; and a head space displacement step for displacing a head space in a container filled with an edible oil obtained through the aforementioned step by using the inert gas. The contained edible oil contains UFBs of the inert gas at a numeric concentration of 80,000,000/mL or greater, and the oxygen saturation of the oil is 1 mg/L or less.
[PROBLEM] To provide a novel method for suppressing heat discoloration of lecithin and a novel lecithin or lecithin preparation having resistance to heat discoloration. [SOLUTION] A method for suppressing heat discoloration of lecithin, comprising adding a fatty acid metal salt to lecithin, and a lecithin or lecithin preparation having resistance to heat discoloration and containing a fatty acid metal salt. Preferably, the metal constituting the fatty acid metal salt is at least one selected from the group consisting of lithium, beryllium, sodium, magnesium, aluminum, potassium, calcium, iron, cobalt, nickel, copper, zinc, silver, barium, thallium, and lead, and the fatty acid of the fatty acid metal salt is at least one selected from saturated fatty acids and unsaturated fatty acids having 3 to 36 carbon atoms.
