Provided are: a method for producing a deodorant which is derived from earthworm castings and can be used in a liquid form; and a deodorant. The deodorant production method characterized by including a mixing step of mixing earthworm castings with water and a collecting step of collecting vaporized water generated from a mixture obtained in the mixing step to obtain a liquid; and the deodorant produced by the production method. It is preferred to further mix an organic substance together with the earthworm castings and the water in the mixing step.

A method for treating and/or alleviating nervous diseases is provided. The method for treating and/or alleviating nervous diseases includes: administering an effective amount of a water extract of a plant of Gracilariaceae or a ferment thereof to a subject in need thereof to treat and/or alleviate a nervous disease thereof, wherein the ferment of the water extract of a plant of Gracilariaceae is a lactic acid bacteria ferment.

The disclosure discloses a method of fermenting soybeans or other oil crops by edible and medicinal fungi, and belongs to the technical field of fermentation. The method involves solid-state fermentation by inoculating edible and medicinal fungi such as i Ganoderma lucidum, Tremella aurantialba, Hericium erinaceus and Cordyceps sinensis that can produce bioactive substances such as active polysaccharides, flavonoids and triterpenoids in a fermentation substrate containing oily crops such as extruded soybeans, peanuts and rapeseeds, thereby obtaining oil and oil crop meal rich in the bioactive substances. In the oil obtained by the method, the content of flavonoids is as high as 0.302 mg/g, and the content of triterpenoids is as high as 65.663 mg/g. In the oil crop meal, the content of active polysaccharides is as high as 60.651 mg/g, the content of flavonoids is as high as 1.599 mg/g, and the content of triterpenoids is as high as 14.225 mg/g.

The present invention relates to a method for preparation of a fermented Allium tuberosum composition which is obtained by inoculating and fermenting Allium tuberosum with yeast to generate nitrite ions and adding an anthocyanin to stabilize the nitrite ions, and to the fermented Allium tuberosum composition, whereby when ingested into the body, the natural nitrite ions are converted into nitric oxide to induce various biological activities such as hypotension, immunopotentiation, improved blood circulation, and the like. An anthocyanin can be obtained in the form of an extract from aronia, purple corn, black rice, berries such as blueberries and so forth, black bean, and the like and can improve the thermal stability of nitrite ions. Provided are thus a method for preparing a nitrite ion-stabilized, fermented Allium tuberosum liquid by adding an anthocyanin to a fermented Allium tuberosum liquid and a composition thereof.

The present disclosure provides a fermented papaya preparation comprising carbohydrate, protein lipid, potassium, and water, and methods of use thereof.

The invention relates to a tablet or capsule containing a plant extract, to assist in the treatment or prevention of disorders or diseases. The tablet or capsule includes bioconverted products provided by fermenting Withania Somnifera extract, Emblica officinalis extract, and Bacopa monnieri extract.

The present invention relates to an anti-influenza virus composition for mucous membranes, comprising a fermented ginseng extract or fermented red ginseng extract as an active component.
