The present invention relates to extracellular polysaccharide produced from Ceriporia lacerata, a mycelium culture medium of Ceriporia lacerata containing the extracellular polysaccharide, and a composition for preventing alopecia or stimulating hair growth containing dry powder or an extract of the mycelium culture medium as an active ingredient. The composition according to the present invention inhibits expression of TGF- and is thus superb in preventing alopecia or stimulating hair growth and a composition containing said composition can be effectively used as a pharmaceutical composition, quasi-drug, healthy functional food and cosmetic composition for preventing alopecia or stimulating hair growth.

[Problem] To manufacture a foaming member using a low-cost method having little environmental impact, in which the air bubbles in an air-bubble-containing product are enhanced and stability is improved, without imparting viscosity, coloring, flavor, cloudiness, odor, etc. Also, to provide an effective use of yeast cell residue generated as a byproduct of a yeast extract. [Solution] A yeast cell residue remaining after a useful extract is removed from a yeast is suspended in water, and is heated after pH adjustment, and then a supernatant is obtained by centrifugal separation. This fraction contains, in relation to the solid content, 35 wt % or more of protein and 30 wt % or more of dietary fiber, and is usable in the foaming member.
