It is an object of the present invention to provide a method for producing a hydrophobic licorice extract which is useful for applications, such as food, food additives, functional nutritive food, food for specified health uses, dietary supplements, drink, feedstuff, drugs, and quasi-drugs, and which has satisfactory powder characteristics.
This invention relates to a method for producing a hydrophobic licorice extract comprises performing extraction from licorice with a water-soluble organic solvent, the area of the bark of the licorice occupying at least 30% of the total surface area of the licorice. This invention also relates to a method for producing a hydrophobic licorice extract comprises crystallizing an extract extracted from licorice, or an extraction residue of the licorice, with a water-soluble organic solvent in a mixed solvent comprising water and the water-soluble organic solvent, the weight ratio, water/(water-soluble organic solvent + water), being 1/3 or more.
A composition containing a licorice polyphenol and other active ingredient (antioxidant ingredient, polyphenol other than licorice polyphenol or a component relating to lipid absorption or metabolism) is highly safe, can be produced easily, and can be utilized for foods and drinks such as health food, food with health claims (specified health food, food with nutrient function claims) and the like, pharmaceutical products, quasi-drugs, cosmetics and the like. In addition, since the composition has a body fat accumulation suppressing effect, a body fat decomposition promoting effect or energy production promoting effect, it is useful for the treatment of obesity, metabolic syndrome and the like.

The present invention provides a stabilization method of reduced coenzyme Q10 useful as food, food with nutrient function claims, food for specified health uses, nutritional supplement, nutritional supplement, animal drugs, drinks, feeds, cosmetics, pharmaceutical products, therapeutic drugs, prophylactic drugs and the like, as well as a stabilized composition. Furthermore, it provides a convenient production method of reduced coenzyme Q10 using oxidized coenzyme Q10 as a starting material. In the present invention, oxidation of reduced coenzyme Q10 can be suppressed, and reduced coenzyme Q10 can be stably maintained by the co-presence of a licorice hydrophobic extract and reduced coenzyme Q10. In addition, reduced coenzyme Q10 can be produced by the co-presence of oxidized coenzyme Q10 and a licorice hydrophobic extract.
