EP 0 657 169 B1 Printed by Jouve, 75001 PARIS (FR) EP 0 657 169 B1 Description Background of the Invention and The Related Art 5 [0001] The present invention relates to a mixture consisting essentially of polyphenols from unripe apples and a process for producing a mixture of unripe Rosaceae fruit polyphenols. [0002] In growing the trees of Rosaceae which bear edible fruits such as apple, pear, peach and the like, "thinning- out" of superfluous fruits is generally carried out in the period of mid May to mid July. In this thinning-out, unripe fruits in the form of bunch or cluster are removed with some of them left unremoved. Consequently, a large amount of unripe 10 fruits are disposed by the thinning-out, without being utilized. These unripe fruits are very bitter as compared with ripe fruits, and the sectional surface of each unripe fruit turns brown easily. This fact suggests the presence of a large amount of polyphenol compounds in unripe fruits. [0003] It is known that polyphenol compounds are generally present in the plant kingdom as a secondary metabolite of plant in numerous kinds and in a large amount. Some of these polyphenol compounds have drawn attention for their 15 diversified physiological activities, from the past in the field of pharmacology and in recent years in the field of food chemistry. [0004] Among them, tea polyphenol (catechins) is drawing particular attention and concentrated researches are under way thereon. This tea polyphenol is being recognized to have very wide physiological activities such as antibac- terial activity, antiviral activity, antioxidative activity, antimutagenic activity, anticancerous activity, platelet coagulation- 20 inhibiting activity, blood pressure increase-inhibiting activity, blood sugar increase-inhibiting activity, blood cholesterol- reducing activity, anticariogenic activity, antiallergic activity, intestinal flora-improving activity, deodoring activity and the like [Japanese Patent Application Kokai (Laid-Open) Nos. 214183/1988, 6499/1990, 178320/1992, etc.]. [0005] Thus, it is known that, for example, the polyphenol extracted from tea has wide physiological activities. 25 Summary of the Invention [0006] An object of the present invention is to provide a fruit polyphenol mixture having various physiological activities, which is different from the polyphenol extracted from tea. [0007] Another object of the present invention is to provide a process for producing a mixture of Rosaceae fruit 30 polyphenols, notably the above fruit polyphenol mixture effectively and economically. [0008] According to the present invention, there is provided a mixture consisting essentially of polyphenols obtainable by pressing or extraction of unripe apples to form a juice or extract, treating the juice or extract with an adsorbent which selectively adsorbs the polyphenols contained in the juice or extract, eluting the polyphenols from the adsorbent with an alcohol, and recovering the mixture of polyphenols from the elute; the mixture of polyphenols consisting essentially 35 of caffeic acid, caffeic acid esters, p-coumaric acid, p-coumaric acid esters, phloretin, phloretin glycosides, phloridzin, quercetin, guercetin glycosides, catechin, epicatechin, and condensed tannins, condensed tannins being regular pol- ymers of n catechin monomers, n having a valus ranging between 7 and 10. [0009] According to the present invention, there is further provided a process for producing a mixture of unripe Ro- saceae fruit polyphenols, which comprises subjecting unripe fruits of Rosaceae, particularly unripe apples, unripe pears 40 or unripe peaches to pressing and/or extraction and then purifying the resulting juice or extract to obtain a polyphenol fraction. [0010] The mixture according to the present invention is an antioxidant. [0011] The mixture according to the present invention is an hypotensive agent and an antimutagenic agent. [0012] According to the present invention, the mixture is further an antiallergic agent having a hyaluronidase-inhibiting 45 activity. [0013] According to the present invention, the mixture is further an anticariogenic agent.

[0031] Fig. 18 is graphs showing the relations between the amount of insoluble glucan formed and the amount of polyphenol compound added, when various polyphenol compounds were added to respective reaction systems. 30 Detailed Description of the Invention [0032] The fruit polyphenol mixture according to the present invention is a polyphenol mixture obtained by subjecting unripe apples to pressing or extraction and then purifying the resulting juice or extract. The purification is conducted 35 by treating the juice or extract with an adsorbent, and the fraction of the juice or extract adsorbed by the adsorbent (this fraction is hereinafter referred to as "adsorbed fraction") contains a fruit polyphenol. The adsorbed fraction is eluted with an anhydrous alcohol (e.g. ethanol) to obtain a purified polyphenol fraction. [0033] This polyphenol fraction is then concentrated, whereby a liquid polyphenol product can be obtained.

J11-04166 / ID.1184076 From: July 2011 to May 2012 Phase in Japan: From September 27, 2011 to November 19, 2011 This information pertains to one of the Training and Dialogue Programs of the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA), which shall be implemented as part of the Official Development Assistance of the Government of Japan based on bilateral agreement between both Governments. I. Concept Background As global warming becomes more serious on global scale, energy-use efficiency has attracted attention as a countermeasure. "Cleaner Production(CP)" is a productive technology system that satisfies both reduction of environmental contamination and productivity enhancement. This technology is designed to save energy and resources, and to enhance corporate energy-use efficiency. In southeast European countries legal regulation to companies does not work well due to undeveloped environmental legal system. On the other hand companies recognize that it is necessary to follow EU standards of environmmental measures in order to expand production activities. In this context CP is drawing attention as one of the countermeasures. In Serbia and Macedonia cleaner production center was established in 2007 with support of UNIDO and now operates in house trainings and experts education for promotion of CP, reflecting a growing demand for CP. Our training site, Kitakyushu city is one of Japan’s four largest industrial zones. The city has a history in which the serious pollution problems occurred in the period of high economic growth 1950’s to 70’s, and the city has controlled the pollution by addressing it with the administration, companies and citizens as one.

Slogan: “From the last wilderness of Scotland” Region (District): Highland (Northern) - Neighbors: Pulteney, Clynelish/Brora and Balblair Established: August 2012; the original Wolfburn Distillery was operational from 1821 through 1877. All that remained was the flow of water that once fed the mash tun and stills many years ago. The team was convinced that if the water was still there, then the whisky could be too. Date of First Distillation: January 25, 2013 (on Robert Burns birthday) Founder: William Smith, founder and original distiller, was the grandfather of Sir William Alexander Smith. Sir William, the founder of the Boys Brigade, fought in the Napoleonic wars and retired in 1815. He operated the distillery beginning in 1827 and produced thousands of gallons of Wolf Burn whisky annually. Status: Active/Producing Distinction: Thurso is the most northerly town on Scottish mainland; in the largest peat bog area in Europe. Location: It is situated in a small industrial park and admittedly it doesn’t have the appearance of a classic distillery.
