The present invention simply and efficiently extracts and produces useful substances such as astaxanthin, silk proteins, and polyphenols from a plant material abundantly containing these useful substances. A material such as silk proteins or plant materials containing a useful substance is: immersed in an alkaline aqueous solution which is of a neutral salt and which is obtained by adding a proper amount of an alkaline agent to an aqueous solution of, for example, sodium chloride, calcium chloride, or the like; and reductively decomposed using the reduction potential generated on the alkaline side of the aqueous solution of a neutral salt to extract the useful substance in a state of being dissolved in the aqueous solution of a neutral salt.

Disclosed are a natural soap composition having elasticity, viscoelasticity and ductility without containing polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and borax, and a method of preparing the same. The soap composition does not contain a plastic material (PVA), borax, a fungicide, a plasticizer or the like, unlike conventional plastic clay toys, and is thus environmentally friendly and safe, and has a cleaning effect. In addition, the composition has the advantages of better elasticity, viscoelasticity and ductility than general soaps or other elastic soap compositions. In addition, even after the composition is molded into a particular shape, it can be transformed into a variety of shapes, can be used as a toy owing to the maximized tactile stimulation thereof, and provides effects such as psychological stability, stress relief and sensory development.
