An astringency reducing agent including an arabinogalactan which has a molecular weight of from 10,000 to 1,000,000 and a ratio of 1,3-bound galactose to total galactose of 12 mol % or more, as an active ingredient. A method for reducing astringency, including blending the astringency reducing agent into an oral product including an astringent substance.

The present disclosure belongs to the technical field of soft capsules, and particularly relates to a plant soft capsule and a preparation method and application thereof. The plant soft capsule with excellent performance is prepared from carrageenan, starch, a plasticizer and water by controlling the weight-average molecular weight of the carrageenan to be 1.2×10.sup.6 to 2.0×10.sup.6. Compared with a plant soft capsule in the existing technology, the plant soft capsule of the present discourse has lower production cost, and the product quality meets the requirements of gelatin soft capsules; and on the premise of high production efficiency, a low oil leakage rate is achieved, and the rupture time meets United States Pharmacopoeia (USP) standards. The plant soft capsule prepared according to the present disclosure can be filled with an active component as a content and used for preparation of a plurality of drugs, functional food or dietary nutritional supplements.

The use of bacteria-based binders to bind and strengthen 3D printed compositions; bio-plastic 3D printing materials comprised of combinations of particles of organic substrates such as coffee, pistachio shells and coconut shells, as well as sand (and combinations of one or more of the foregoing); processes for creating scent-free bio-plastic 3D printing material and products from such particles; the application of a copper finish, chrome finish and powder finish to bio-plastics made from such particles; and products and fixtures, such as sinks, toilets, faucets, coffee mug molds, lighting fixtures, and coffee cups, comprising non-flammable bio-plastic created by a process of 3D printing from such particles. Processes for imparting color or structure or surface texture to these and binding and strengthening them using enzyme-secreting bacteria.

Provided herein are compositions with enhanced protein content, compositions with functional proteins, protein combinations and methods for the preparation thereof.

The present invention provides a method for producing caffeine, wherein the method comprises: (a) combining a coffee extract comprising caffeine with an aqueous organic acid; (b) crystallizing the coffee extract and the aqueous organic acid so as to form caffeine-organic acid co-crystals in an aqueous phase; (c) separating the caffeine-organic acid co-crystals from the aqueous phase; and (d) extracting caffeine from the co-crystals obtained in step (c), wherein step (d) comprises placing the co-crystals in an aqueous solution so as to form a caffeine precipitate and a solution comprising the organic acid. Also provided is a method for producing a decaffeinated coffee extract comprising chlorogenic acids.
