Abstract: L'invention concerne une poutre de construction qui comporte une paire d'éléments latéraux (608) et une armature souple (600) entre les deux éléments. La souplesse de l'armature permet de réduire la transmission de son à travers la poutre d'un élément latéral à l'autre. L'armature souple de la présente invention est, de façon pratique, constituée d'une seule pièce. L'armature est de préférence (mais pas obligatoirement) dotée d'entretoises (512) fixées sur ladite armature, de façon que les éléments latéraux puissent facilement être orientés par rapport à l'armature et l'un par rapport à l'autre, de manière à être ajustés automatiquement. Les entretoises peuvent facilement être formées par découpe et fléchissement de languettes dans le matériau de l'armature à des emplacement souhaités.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an α-amylase activity
inhibitor containing, as an effective component, polyphenols
obtained through the following process: guava leaves and/or
guava fruit are subjected to extraction with one or more
solvents selected from among water and hydrophilic solvents;
the resultant extract is subjected to ultrafiltration, to
thereby remove substances having a molecular weight of less
than 5,000; the remaining fraction is subjected to the butyl
support hydrophobic chromatography. The elution (flow rate:
1 mL/min) of the sample was accomplished with the pH gradient
by use of sodium dihydrogenphosphate and sodium phosphate
solution (0.02 mol/L) and a fraction of the eluted substance
is recovered, which fraction corresponds to the third single
peak of an elution curve which is obtained when the
absorbance of the substance is measured at 260 nm. The
present invention also relates to an α-amylase activity
inhibitor containing, as an effective component, polyphenols
having specific physicochemical properties, and to food and
beverages containing the α-amylase activity inhibitor. The
α-amylase activity inhibitor of the present invention
exhibits remarkably excellent α-amylase inhibitory activity
as compared with guava extract. Accordingly, food and
beverages containing the α-amylase activity inhibitor are
diet food and beverages suitable for people of high blood-sugar
level or hyderlipidemia.
