A method is shown for preparing a specimen for extensively analyzing a resident skin bacterium and/or a substance present in the stratum corneum, such as a protein or a lipid, or observing the shape of the stratum corneum. A method for preparing a specimen for analyzing a resident skin bacterium and/or a substance present m the stratum corneum or observing the shape of the stratum, includes applying a solution containing a polyvinyl alcohol polymer to the skin so as to form a thin-film and peeling and collecting the formed thin-film.

Method for preparing specimen for analysis or observation of skin

Provided is a culture product having a mild rose aroma and suitable for imparting the rose aroma to a cosmetic product, a food or a drink, a pharmaceutical product, and the like. A culture product, which is obtained by fermenting a lactic acid bacterium culture product in a medium containing a milk component with, and comprises isoamyl alcohol in an amount of 0.3 to 5 parts by mass with respect to 1 part by mass of phenylethyl acetate.

Aromatic culture product of microorganism

A culture product comprising a large quantity of ethyl benzoate and has a more complex and fresher fruity aroma than a chemically synthesized product. The culture product is obtained by culturing a microorganism belonging to the genusin a milk component-containing culture medium.

Culture product of microorganism belonging to the genus
