Disclosed herein are a hydrolysate of water extract of Syzygium samarangense and a preparation process thereof. Also disclosed herein is a composition which comprises the hydrolysate of water extract of Syzygium samarangense. The composition is suitable for whitening skin, enhancing the moisture-retaining capacity of skin, improving wound healing, and reducing oxidative stress.

The present disclosure relates to a method of producing collagen from an animal and more particularly, the present invention relates to a method for producing collagen by applying an acid and metal fluoride combination to an animal skin.

The present invention relates to a strain and/or a modified strain of Chlorella sorokiniana (C. sorokiniana) having a reduced content of chlorophyll when compared to a wild type strain of C. sorokiniana cultured under the same conditions.

Methods and composition, thereof, relate to aspartic proteases, and particularly to aspartic proteases for plants. Disclosed are modified plant aspartic proteases, and methods for their manufacture, and uses thereof. Particularly contemplated are the uses of aspartic proteases in inducing skin desquamation.

The present invention relates to a method for isolating and culturing neural stem cells with high efficiency, which may shorten the time for isolation and culture by simplifying a method for isolating and culturing neural stem cells and may increase the acquisition yield of neural stem cells. The present invention provides a method for isolating and culturing neural stem cells with high efficiency, comprising the steps of adding brain tissue into an enzyme solution so as to subject the brain tissue to enzyme treatment; physically isolating cell clumps from the enzyme treated brain tissue by dividing the cell clumps according to size and removing impurities; and inoculating the cell clumps on a culture dish so as to subculture.

Provided herein are compositions, foods comprising nepenthesin or a derivative thereof and methods of using nepenthesin or a derivative thereof for modulating gluten intolerance and related conditions, such as celiac disease.

The present invention provides a novel proteolytic enzyme composition more particularly an orally administered proteolytic enzyme composition comprising of one or more acid proteases, one or more alkaline protease and one or more plant proteases. More particularly, the composition comprises of microbial (fungal, bacterial or other microbes) protease enzymes, proteases from plant and animals proteases thereof.

The invention relates to a component of bromelain which is largely responsible for the ability of bromelain to interrupt the MAP kinase cascade. The component contains ananain and comosain and is useful in the treatment or prevention of diseases and conditions mediated by T cell activation or by activation of the MAP kinase pathway.

Provided herein are compositions, foods comprising nepenthesin or a derivative thereof and methods of using nepenthesin or a derivative thereof for modulating gluten intolerance and related conditions, such as celiac disease.

The present invention relates to novel compositions comprising proteolytic enzymes and fining agents as well as methods for the treatment and/or prevention of cancer using these compositions.
