Polyesters, such as those formed using polyols and di- or tri-carboxylic acids or anhydrides or salts thereof, are used as foam control agents in foodstuff processing. The polyesters are biodegradable and biocompatible while still providing excellent foam control capacity. In addition, polyesters foam control agents of the disclosure can be used with various apparatus while avoiding forming films that otherwise affect apparatus function. The polyesters can be used at various stages during industrial processing of vegetables (e.g., potatoes and beets) and fruits.

The present invention relates to a composition for preventing, treating, or alleviating ischemia-reperfusion injury, containing bile acid. According to the present invention, bile acid increases intranuclear beta-catenin levels, interferes with the opening of a mitochondria permeable transition pore (mPTP), and has excellent effects, in ischemia-reperfusion injury animal models, of alleviating tissue injury and reducing the size of infarcts, thereby being usable in the prevention, treatment, or alleviation of ischemia-reperfusion injury.

Alkyl ether amines are used as foam control compounds in foodstuff processing. The alkyl ether amines can be used at various stages during industrial processing of vegetables, fruits, and plants, such as potatoes and beets. The alkyl ether amines are generally of lower molecular weights and therefore easily transported to the foam layer to break the foam structure. Further, the alkyl ether amines are water soluble and therefore can be readily removed from the food processing system.

The present invention facilitates the elimination of foam generated in an acidic liquid seasoning containing plant-derived crushed materials after the seasoning is mixed by stirring/shaking. This acidic liquid seasoning contains plant-derived crushed materials, gums, a cold water swellable starch, and a vinegar, wherein (A) the viscosity at 20° C. is 500 to 10,000 mPa.Math.s, and (B) the dissociated acetic acid concentration is 0.15 mass % or less.
