A readily-available brain function-improving agent or food composition having an A&#x3b2; intracerebral deposition suppressing effect or a learning function-improving effect is provided based on finding, as a result of orally administeringLPS to Alzheimer's disease model mice and studying the effects, that oral administration ofLPS significantly decreased intracerebral A&#x3b2; peptide accumulation and improved learning function.

Brain function-improving agent, food, and medicine using lipopolysaccharide

In order to provide a method for culturing an immunopotentiator-containing organism having the experience of being eaten, inexpensively without requiring usage of a component derived from an animal,orwhich is an edible gram-negative bacterium having an immunopotentiation function is cultured using a culture solution composed mainly of wheat or bean curd refuse. Thereby,can be obtained inexpensively and safely, and also a low molecular weight lipopolysaccharide which is the immunopotentiator can be obtained inexpensively and safely. Furthermore, no impurity derived from animal components is mixed.

Method for fermentation and culture, fermented plant extract, fermented plant extract composition, method for producing lipopolysaccharide and lipopolysaccharide

For the purpose of providing a method of safely and inexpensively producing a fermented plant extract containing an immunopotentiator at a high concentration, the method for fermentation and culture of the present invention ferments a plant component such as wheat flour usingwhich is a gram negative bacterium which lives in a symbiotic relationship with a plant such as wheat and apple. It becomes possible to remarkably augment an immunopotentiation action which the plant has. In addition, these are not contaminated with impurities derived from animal components, and thus these are highly safe.

Method for fermentation and cultivation, fermented plant extract, fermented plant extract powder, and composition containing the extract of fermented plant

It has been found that a-positive glycolipid is present in xanthan gum derived from, which has been commercially available and eaten for many years, and this was purified, and it has been found that this-positive glycolipid has an immunopotentiation effect. A method for safely and inexpensively producing the-positive glycolipid containing an immunopotentiator at high concentrations is provided. The method for producing the-positive glycolipid of the present invention comprises extracting the-positive glycolipid from xanthan gum. A-positive glycolipid composition containing the-positive glycolipid can be used for various applications such as pharmaceuticals, pharmaceuticals for animals, quasi drugs, cosmetics, foods, functional foods, feedstuff and bath agents.

Method for production of limulus-positive glycolipid, the limulus-positive glycolipid, and composition containing the limulus-positive glycolipid
