An enzymatic hydrolysis process for producing a fish protein hydrolysate powder is provided. Further provided is use of the fish protein hydrolysate powder obtained and a composition comprising said powder as a medicament, preferably for the prophylaxis or treatment of oxidative damage of the gastro-intestinal and central nervous system.

The purpose of the present invention is to develop a method for screening drugs having the effect of increasing skin barrier function in in vitro studies and to evaluate barrier function in the skin. Candidate drugs can be screened by using the activity and/or expression level of serine racemase as an indicator.

The invention provides the use of low molecular weight collagen hydrolysate for reducing joint pain such as in arthritis or osteoarthritis.

A pharmaceutical composition contains an integrin binding fragment for Laminin which is selected from the group consisting of Laminin 511 and Laminin 411 for treating or preventing a disease, disorder, or symptom of a tooth dentin and/or pulp or pulp tissue. A method of producing a hard tissue transplantation material includes the steps of culturing odontoblast in the presence of an integrin binding fragment for the Laminin which selected from the group consisting of Laminin 511 and Laminin 411 and obtaining a culture of odontoblast and inducing calcification or mineralization of the culture of odontoblast so as to obtain the hard tissue transplantation material.

The present invention relates to a method of preparing a protein composition, comprising enzymatic modification of milk lecithin using phospholipase. This protein composition is then included in nutritional products to increase emulsion quality and heat stability of the final nutritional products.

An anxiolytic composition includes a synergistic combination of one or more of an L-theanine, an s-adenosylmethionine (SAMe), and optionally an extract of Magnolia, an extract of Phellodendron, and a whey protein.

An agent of the present invention comprising poultry feet or a processed product thereof, preferably a hydrolysate of an extract of poultry feet, promotes hyaluronic acid production, thereby exhibiting excellent effects of preventing or treating a joint disorder, improving skin dryness, wrinkles or skin tension, moisturizing the skin, etc. The agent is thus useful as a medicament, a quasi-drug, a cosmetic product, a food product or an animal feed.

A composition is disclosed that includes pure silk fibroin-based protein fragments that are substantially devoid of sericin, wherein the composition has an average weight average molecular weight ranging from about 17 kDa to about 38 kDa, wherein the composition has a polydispersity of between about 1.5 and about 3.0, wherein the composition is substantially homogeneous, wherein the composition between 0 ppm to about 500 ppm of inorganic residuals, and wherein the composition includes between 0 ppm to about 500 ppm of organic residuals.
