サルビア・ウリギノーサの青色花弁から青色色素複合体を精製した. 精製青色色素は645, 589, 314 nm に吸収極大を示した. この青色色素はセロハン透析チューブを通さなかった. 原子吸光分析の結果Mg が検出され, Fe, Mn, Al, Ca, Zn は検出されなかった. アントシア ニンはアセチル化マロニルアオバニンであり, フラボン部分はアピゲニン７‒セロビオシド‒ 4‒グルコシドであった. この複合体にMg が必須であることを再構成により示した. また, Mg 以外にもMn, Cd も青色形成をしたが, Mg が最も効果があった. アピゲニン配糖体はその分子中に糖が１個でも２個でも３個でも青色形成に差がなかった. この色素は食品添加物として利用の可能性が考えられた.

The purpose of this research is to throw light on the style of speech of salespeople that is most effective in reducing fashion risks that consumers are aware of when they purchase clothing. The following became evident as a consequence of these endeavors. In men, speech connected to "social proof," "authority" and "goodwill" is effective in alleviating "fashion concerns," speech connected to "authority" is effective in connection with "criteria concerns," speech connected to "authority" and "distinctiveness" is effective in connection with "harmony concerns," speech connected to "authority" and "rarity" is effective in connection with "self-expression concerns," and speech connected to "rarity" and "distinctiveness" is persuasive among people who are insensitive to "concern over visual image." In women, speech connected to "social proof" is effective in alleviating "dressing concerns," speech connected to "social proof" and "authority" is effective in connection with "fashion concerns," speech connected to "distinctiveness" is effective in connection with "criteria concerns," and "goodwill" is effective in connection with "harmony concerns."

It was taken for granted that "Cooking" and "Eating" pertained to home activities, but things have changed over the years and it has become nothing out of the ordinary for us to buy some prepared dishes at stores and supermarkets and for many families to eat out. This study aims to clarify the feature of the dietary style of those who live in suburban residential areas in the Kansai region, focusing on their "internal" and "external" cooking and eating. For this purpose, we chose Gakuenmae in Nara Prefecture, where development began 35-55 years ago. In this study the residents were typified into six types: Internal/External Cooking by their dependence on purchase of Prepared or Semi-Prepared Food, Internal/External Cooking by the frequency of eating out, and Internal/External Eating. The largest is Type I or Internal/External who do the cooking at home with low frequency of eating out, followed by Type II or External/External who eat out depending on Prepared Dishes including box lunch bought at supermarkets and convenience stores. The majority of males belong to either Type I (Internal/External) or Type II (External/External) while females are spread over to the other types. Many working males in their 30s and 40s are found in Type II (External/External) while many full-time housewives and retired males are found in Type V (Internal/Internal). In other words, the typification is closely related to gender, age and whether or not they are employed. In the past, the mainstream of the suburbanities' dietary style was Type I, but they are now typified into six types as enumerated above and seem to continue to diversity. It is desired that the feature of dietary style clarified in this study will be taken into consideration in planning suburban areas in the future.

The purpose of this study was to examine how the child care workers viewed the Experience in Early Childhood Education and Care at Day Care Center (ECEC). The result of our questionnaire survey shows that the majority of the day care centers adopted this system and regarded it as a good experience. From the standpoint of the implementation of ECEC, the day care centers that answered our interview may be divided into a positive group and a negative group. The positive group admitted that ECEC had brought about a good effect on the part of both the preschoolers and junior and senior high school students, and considered ECEC as an effective child care support. The results of this survey indicated the good effects circulated between junior and senior high schools and the day care centers that had taken part in ECEC. It is important, therefore, for caregivers to be aware of the abovementioned cycle in implementing ECEC.

A simple and clear method to demonstrate the hydrolyzing ability for starch in germinated brown rice was investigated. This method involves visualizing the α-amylase activity in germinating rice as spots on a starch plate. These spots were relatively clear and could be detected within only 2 hours, indicating the suitability of the method for teaching.α-Amylase contributes to the physiological degradation of storage starch in brown rice, and provides good teaching material for understanding the value of germinated brown rice as a foodstuff for human digestion and absorption.
