An object is to provide a cosmetic composition that: has a high soft focus effect, a high skin beautifying effect, and a high moisture retaining effect; is safe; and enables reduction in environmental impact. Yeast cell wall particles retaining shapes of yeast cell walls and having an average particle diameter ranging from 1 to 25 &#x3bc;m are prepared and blended in a cosmetic composition.

Cosmetic composition

The present invention provides a hydrolysate of a lignocellulosic material, and specifically a method of using a hydrolysis treatment liquid obtained by a hydrolysis treatment of a lignocellulosic material before kraft cooking in order to obtain dissolving pulp for uses other than use of a fuel. Specifically, the present invention provides a dispersant containing the hydrolysate obtained by hydrolysis treatment of the lignocellulosic material. The dispersant of the present invention has excellent dispersibility for a substance such as an inorganic substance and an organic substance without limitation of powder, particulate, granular, fiber, and flat plane shapes.

Dispersant

The present invention relates to anionically modified microfibrillated plant fibers used for obtaining a thermosetting resin molding material having excellent mechanical strength, a method for manufacturing the same, a molding material containing the anionically modified microfibrillated plant fibers and a thermosetting resin, and a method for manufacturing the same. Specifically, the present invention provides a molding material containing anionically modified microfibrillated plant fibers that are anionically modified in the presence of a base by a carboxylic acid represented by formula (I): X&#x2014;(CH)&#x2014;COOH (I), wherein X represents halogen and n is 1 or 2, and/or by a salt thereof, and a thermosetting resin, and the molding material contains the anionically modified microfibrillated plant fibers in an amount of 10 to 900 parts by weight per 100 parts by weight of the thermosetting resin.

Molding material and manufacturing method therefor

The present invention provides a novel production method of a cellulose nanofiber and a novel cellulose nanofiber. The method for producing a cellulose nanofiber comprises defibrating pulp by a single- or multi-screw kneader in the presence of water, the single or multi-screw kneader having a screw circumferential speed of 45 m/min. Or more.

Cellulose nanofibers

The present invention provides a novel cationized microfibrillated plant fiber and a method for manufacturing the same. A cationic microfibrillated plant fiber that is cationically modified with a quaternary-ammonium-group-containing compound, and that has an average diameter of 4 to 200 nm.

Cationic microfibrillated plant fibre and manufacturing method for same

A novel human collagen-like protein CLAC occurring in brain amyloid and its precursor CLAC-P; genes encoding the same; cDNA of mouse CLAC-P and its deduced amino acid sequence; antibodies specific to these proteins; and methods of diagnosing treating and preventing Alzheimer's disease by using the same.
