An object is to provide a solid composition which is excellent in capability of retaining linalool and geraniol. A solid composition containing linalool d geraniol has dextrin having a molecular weight of 50,000 or more incorporated therein.

Solid composition containing linalool, geraniol, and dextrin and food and drinks containing same

A solid composition comprises dimethyl sulfide and dextrin. The solid composition includes dimethyl sulfide in an amount of at least 2.1 μg per gram of the solid composition (2.1 μg/g). The dextrin present in the composition has a molecular weight of 50,000 or more. The solid composition comprises linear dextrin and cyclic dextrin, wherein the cyclic dextrin is one or more cyclodextrin(s) selected from the group consisting of α-cyclodextrin and γ-cyclodextrin.

Solid composition containing dimethyl sulfide and dextrin

An object of the present invention is to provide a solid composition that provides floral aroma when added to a medium such as water. The solid composition comprises linalool, geraniol, and 2-methylbutanal, and has a weight ratio of 2-methylbutanal content to total linalool and geraniol content which is adjusted to be in the range of from 0.015 to 0.215.

Solid composition having floral scent

An object of the present invention is to provide an aromatizing material having excellent floral aroma. The tea aroma composition including linalool, geraniol, and 2-methylbutanal, and has a weight ratio of 2-methylbutanal content to total linalool and geraniol content which is adjusted to be in the range of from 0.010 to 0.215.

Tea aromatizing composition having floral aroma

An object of the present invention is to provide a method for producing a tea aroma composition wherein the excellent aroma of tea leaves is enhanced. In the method for producing a tea aroma composition, tea leaves are treated by steam distillation to collect a distillate and then the obtained distillate is subjected to distillative concentration.

Method for manufacturing tea aroma composition

A sterilization apparatus characterized in that the sterilization apparatus comprises a reactive oxygen species irradiation unit for irradiating a reactive oxygen species-containing gas which is a reaction product of plasma generated using an alternating current and a water-containing gas containing steam, the sterilization apparatus further containing an inlet unit for steam flow for supplying the water-containing gas heated to a temperature of from 50&#xb0; to 300&#xb0; C., wherein the reactive oxygen species-containing gas contains water in an amount equal to or greater than the amount of saturated steam. The sterilization apparatus of the present invention shows excellent sterilization activity, so that it can be suitably used in sterilization of containers for foodstuff, bottle caps sealing the openings of the containers, medical devices, foodstuff such as vegetables and meat, and the like.

Sterilization apparatus

In a sterilizing system, a sterilizing device receives supply of oxygen and steam. The sterilizing device produces oxygen plasma containing ozone from the supplied oxygen and discharges the produced oxygen plasma and reactive oxygen produced through reaction between the supplied steam and the oxygen plasma as a sterilizing agent. And, the sterilizing system includes an ozone collecting unit for collecting ozone contained in the discharged oxygen plasma.

Sterilizing system

An image density control method for an image forming apparatus in which, in order to keep the development capability constant over time, the toner density in the developer is manipulated to an appropriate range by changing the toner density control reference value in accordance with the toner replacement amount in a fixed time period by ascertaining changes in the image coverage of the output images, and by changing the image forming conditions at predetermined execution intervals.
