A method for extracting a ceramide-containing material or ceramide from whole apples and/or apple juice extraction residue. Furthermore, to ensure utility as a food, especially a functional food, or a raw material for a cosmetic or medicine, that includes the ceramide-containing material. [Solution] In the present invention, an adsorbent is added to an ethanol treatment solution of whole apples and/or apple juice extraction residue, the mixture is stirred and subjected to solid-liquid separation, and solid material precipitated from the solution is separated, after which water is added to the resultant concentrate and the temperature thereof is maintained, whereby the resultant settled component is recovered and dried to obtain a ceramide-containing material or ceramide. Using the ceramide obtained from whole apples and/or apple juice extraction residue, there are formed a composition for promoting production of hyaluronic acid and/or type II collagen, and a composition for promoting improvement of memory impairment and/or enhancement of the level of phosphorylation of extracellular signal-related kinases (ERK1/2).

Described herein are neurotrophic and nootropic compositions and methods for treating subjects with such compositions. In one aspect the composition comprises one or more tryptamines or in pure form or extracts from psilocybin containing mushrooms, or combinations thereof optionally combined with one or more phenethylamines or amphetamines in pure form or extracts from a plant or mushroom, or combinations thereof, optionally one or more erinacines or hericenones in pure form, extracts from Hericium mushroom species (e.g., H. erinaceus, H. coralloides, H. ramosum) or combinations thereof, optionally one or more cannabinoids in pure form or extracts from Cannabis sativa, Cannabis sativa, Cannabis indica, or Cannabis ruderalis, optionally, one or more adversive compounds, and optionally one or more pharmaceutically acceptable excipients.

The present invention relates to the technical field of foods and additives that are derived from edible plants. Particularly, the present invention relates to a method for obtaining a product rich in antioxidants, dietary fiber and other nutrients from byproducts of edible plants such as dehydrated pulps and juices derived from fruits and vegetables, obtaining thus a first liquid product (first liquid phase), a second liquid product (second liquid phase), and a first and second solid phases, all of them with multiple beneficial health properties. One of the main effects observed when an individual consumes these products, is a normalization in the levels of triglycerides, total cholesterol, and HDL, and the body weight of this individual is maintained even when under a regime of fat diet.
