An intake and exhaust system includes an engine, an intake air channel, an exhaust gas channel, an EGR channel, an EGR valve, and a control device. By adjusting an opening degree of the EGR valve, the control device executes EGR control processing to control a flowrate of a recirculating exhaust gas. An isolation valve is disposed in the EGR channel closer to the exhaust gas channel than the EGR valve is. An air admittance valve is disposed in the EGR channel closer to the exhaust gas channel than the EGR valve is and closer to the intake air channel than the isolation valve is. The control device executes learning processing to learn a relationship between an actual flowrate and a reference flowrate while the isolation valve is closed and the air admittance valve is opened. The control device executes the EGR control processing based on a learning processing result.

A method of producing 1-menthyl-&agr;-D-glucopyranoside is provided, wherein microorganisms capable of producing 1-menthol glycoside from 1-menthol are added to sugars and 1-menthol. Bacteria selected from the group consisting of Xanthomonas species, Stenotrophomonas species and Arthrobacter species may be used as the microorganisms.

Method of producing 1-menthyl- &agr;-D-glucopyranoside

A method includes preparing an extract from Cassia mimosoides L. var. nomame Makino subjecting Cassia mimosoides L. var. nomame Makino by extracting solvent to obtain an extract from Cassia mimosoides L. var. nomame Makino and roasting the extract, the extract being roasted to improve flavors.

In a blood-lipid depressant for depressing a blood-lipid level, an effective component of the depressant is an extract extracted with an extracting solvent from a senna species (Cassia mimosoides L. var. nomame Makino). An effective component of the depressant is an extract obtained by fractionating via chromatographic methods an extract extracted with an extracting solvent from a senna species (Cassia mimosoides L. var. nomame Makino).

Blood-lipid depressant and victuals containing the same
