Fermented milk drinks and foods containing fermented milk components obtained by fermentation with lactic acid bacteria together with a growth promoter for lactic acid bacteria selected from among ginger extract, tea extract, green onion extract, or oleic acid and derivatives thereof, and a process for producing the fermented milk drinks and foods involving the step of culturing lactic acid bacteria in a medium containing the growth promoter for lactic acid bacteria. These fermented milk drinks and foods can contain a large number of viable cells of lactic acid bacteria and sustain the activity (acid producing ability) of the bacteria at a high level.

Fermented milk drinks and foods and process for producing the same

Stable acidic milk drinks characterized by composed of an acidic milk drink base together with collagen peptides obtained by hydrolyzing collagen and stabilizers. Thus, it becomes possible to add a collagen substance to the existing drinks containing various stabilizers without worsening the stability of the drinks achieved by the stabilizer.

Stable acidic milk drinks, process for producing the same, and additive for acidic milk drinks to be used therein

A method of producing milk-fermented food, wherein a bifidobacteria or a lactic acid bacteria or a combination of these two bacteria are inoculated into and cultured in a culture medium composed mainly of milk, and an isolated soybean protein or a yeast extract or a combination of these substances are added to the culture medium or a culture obtained by cultivation of the bacteria. The bifidobacteria is one or two species selected from Bifidobacterium breve, Bifidobacterium longum, Bifidobacterium bifidum, or Bifidobacterium infantis.

Method of preparing milk-fermented food

In a full-duplex data communication system, the signal-to-noise ratio, error rate and occurrences of out-of-sync condition of signals transmitted on the data channel of a first transmission medium from a first station to a second station are detected by the latter and a first set of quality signals of the first transmission medium is generated. The signal-to-noise ratio, error rate and occurrences of out-of-sync condition of signals transmitted on the data channel of a second transmission medium in the opposite direction are likewise detected by the first station and a second set of quality signals of the second transmission medium are generated. The first set of quality signals are modulated and transmitted on a control channel of the second transmission medium from the second station and received and demodulated by the first station, which derives a speed setting command signal from the second set of quality signals as well as from the first set of quality signals represented by the demodulated signals, and the transmission speed of the first station is controlled according to the speed setting command signal. The speed setting command signal is modulated and transmitted on a control channel of the first transmission medium from the first to second station, which demodulates it and controls its transmission speed according to the demodulated speed setting command signal.
