An object of the present invention is to provide hyaluronidase inhibitors, collagenase inhibitors, elastase inhibitors, MMP-1 production suppressors, and collagen synthesis promoters that contain as an active component one or more pigment compounds that are obtained as extracted from plants of the family Rosaceae, as well as agents for cutaneous application, skin cosmetics, and quasi-drugs that contain such pigment compounds. The present invention provides hyaluronidase inhibitors, collagenase inhibitors, elastase inhibitors, MMP-1 production suppressors, collagen synthesis promoters, agents for cutaneous application, skin cosmetics, and quasi-drugs that contain one or more compounds in a class of rosacyanins or one or more compounds in a class of rosadelphins as an active component.

Uses of rose pigment compounds

The present invention addresses the problem of providing a soybean-derived raw material-containing food or beverage that improves problems with flavor and physical properties, such as the grassy smell caused by soybean raw materials, and markedly improves product quality, in a soybean-derived raw material-containing food or beverage using a conventional soybean raw material such soymilk or tofu. Provided are a milk-substitute composition, an egg yolk-substitute composition, and a composition for improving renal function, etc., characterized by including a reduced-fat soybean protein material having a total protein and carbohydrate content relative to dry material of at least 80 wt %, a fat content (as a chloroform/methanol mixed solvent extract) relative to the protein content of less than 10 wt %, and a total campesterol and stigmasterol (as plant-derived sterols) content of at least 200 mg relative to 100 g of fat. Also provided are a variety of soybean-derived raw material-containing food and beverages using these compositions.

Provided are a milk-substitute composition, and an egg-yolk substitute composition, etc., characterized by including a soybean emulsion composition having a protein content relative to dry material of at least 25 wt %, a fat content (as a chloroform/methanol mixed solvent extract) relative to the protein content of at least 100 wt %, and an LCI value of at least 55%. Also provided are a variety of soybean-derived raw material-containing food and beverages using these compositions.
