ヤヱガキ醗酵技研 List of Products and Services

This product is a non-allergenic nanofiber that serves as an alternative to allergenic α-chitin. Made from squid sourced from Sanriku, it is produced based on our proprietary technology developed in chitin and chitosan manufacturing. It is finer than α-chitin derived from crab and cellulose nanofibers, and the fibers form a network, resulting in a jelly-like, viscous hydrogel. Additionally, due to its high biocompatibility, it is expanding its applications in medical devices for wound covering functions and as a culture substrate for iPS and ES cells, and it is expected to be a material for regenerative medicine, a pioneering research field worldwide. 【Features】 ■ Non-allergenic ■ Hydrogel ■ Low protein content *For more details, please download the PDF or feel free to contact us.

Meshimakobu is a perennial fungus belonging to the Kikobutake family, and it has attracted attention as a mushroom with antitumor activity. Our Meshimakobu mycelium is made from tank-cultured and sterilized ground material of the Meshimakobu mycelium. Our Meshimakobu mycelium contains a high amount of polyphenols. It has been confirmed to have effects such as suppressing blood sugar level increases and inhibiting gallstone formation. Recent research has also shown improvements in mortality rates in influenza-infected model mice and increases in neutralizing antibody levels. *For more details, please visit our website or feel free to contact us.*

Red yeast rice has been known as a traditional Chinese medicine material for a long time and is used in red wine and fermented soy products. In 1979, monacolin K (lovastatin), a cholesterol synthesis inhibitor, was discovered from red yeast rice, attracting attention. Red yeast rice powder K-F standardizes the content of monacolin K, and its effects on lowering blood cholesterol and suppressing liver damage have been confirmed. *For more details, please visit our company website or feel free to contact us.*

Agaricus is a mushroom native to Brazil and belongs to the same family as the common mushroom. The β-glucans produced by Agaricus are known for their anti-tumor, anti-cancer, and immune-boosting effects. The Agaricus mycelium FM is a material made by tank culturing and sterilizing the Agaricus mycelium, and it contains about three times more β-glucans compared to the fruiting body. *For more details, please visit our company website or feel free to contact us.*

The plant-based lactic acid bacteria fermentation product YJK-13 is made using our original plant-derived lactic acid bacteria strain JK-13, which ferments highly digestible soybean peptides. In addition to the nutritional and functional value of soybean peptides, this fermentation product combines the immune-activating effects and intestinal regulation properties of lactic acid bacteria. Although YJK-13 has a slight cloudiness, it has high solubility, making it suitable for a wide range of foods, including beverages. We have confirmed its immune-activating effects and the proliferation effects on bifidobacteria, among other aspects. *For more details, please visit our company website or feel free to contact us.*

Profine is a fermented material created by powdering sake lees that have been re-fermented from the sake brewing process. It contains 10 to 20 times more free amino acids compared to sake, making it a functional ingredient. Profine also has good solubility, and its effects, such as stress relief, improved endurance, and beauty benefits, have been confirmed. *For more details, please visit our company website or feel free to contact us.*

Ginger koji is a fermented ingredient made by fermenting ginger with koji mold, resulting in a product with increased gingerol content due to fermentation. It also contains α-amylase and protease activities derived from koji mold, which can support the digestive enzymes that decrease with age and the food enzymes that tend to be lacking due to the Westernization of diets when consuming ginger koji. Human intervention studies have confirmed that the recovery effect on body temperature is enhanced compared to regular ginger. Additionally, the α-amylase and protease activities derived from koji mold have been shown to have meat tenderizing effects. New data has been obtained for osteoporosis prevention, and it can be used as a femcare and femtech ingredient in combination with measures for cold sensitivity and dieting. *As of 2023, it is available for consultation as a functional labeling compliant ingredient. *For more details, please visit our company website or feel free to contact us.

This is a fermented ingredient made from seven types of grains (barley, millet, foxtail millet, proso millet, sorghum, black rice, and rice flour) fermented with koji mold. It contains α-amylase and protease activity derived from koji mold, so by consuming this multi-grain koji, you can support the body's enzymes that decrease with age and the food enzymes that diminish due to the Westernization of diets. Our product lineup includes multi-grain koji 50M, which is ground while preserving the koji mold, and multi-grain koji BF, which is sterilized and finely powdered while maintaining enzyme activity, allowing for various applications. The expected functionality has been confirmed in human intervention studies, showing effects on obesity suppression and improvement of intestinal environment. *For more details, please visit our company website or feel free to contact us.*

ProFiber is a fermented material created by re-fermenting sake lees generated during the sake brewing process, followed by refining, drying, and grinding the indigestible components of the sake lees. It is a functional material that concentrates resistant protein (indigestible protein) and dietary fiber, which are difficult for the body to absorb. ProFiber has the effect of adsorbing and expelling fats, and its effectiveness in suppressing obesity has been confirmed. Additionally, since it also contains dietary fiber, its effectiveness in improving bowel movements has also been confirmed.
