[Master’s Course] Food and Nutrition Science
Characteristics of Food Processing
| Food processing | ProfessorYasuhiro Funatsu |
We develop a fermented food by using microorganisms, such as koji and halophilic lactic acid bacteria for a purpose of effective use of low-use water livestock resources. We investigate changes such as chemical components and taste components during the fermentation process, and quality of final products. |
|---|---|---|
Associate ProfessorTakashi Tochihara |
We analyze physicochemical properties, functionality, and applicability to the food preparation of extracellular polysaccharides contained in mucilage that is produced by particular type of lactic acid bacteria. | |
LecturerYosuke Hirayama |
1. Improving the viability of probiotic lactobacilli 2. Development of new applications for liquid infant formula stockpiled for disaster prevention 3. Research on the utilization of whey |

Health and Nutrition
| Health and Nutrition | ProfessorTomoko Suga |
We will pursue the achievement of the SDGs goals of “Health and Welfare for All”, “Zero Hunger”, “End Poverty”, “Peace and Justice for All”, “Achieve Gender Equality”, and “End Inequality among People and Nations”. In light of these goals, research on the relationship between domestic violence, sexual violence, interpersonal violence and animal abuse are preferred. |

ProfessorTaichi Yamaguchi |
Research to clarify methods of nutrition intake and exercise 1) for maintenance and promotion of health 2) for improvement of sports performance |
|
Associate ProfessorToru Kobayashi |
The studies are conduct using based on a method of epidemiology. 1) Study on to clarify an association between dietary habit or nutritional intake and diseases. 2) Study on to clarify an association between lifestyle or social factors and health statuses. 3) Study on to investigate and development a method of nutritional care for dietician. |

Associate ProfessorRumiko Sugimura |
Research on the nutrition education for change of dietary behavior using a health behavior theory，and the relationship between dietary behavior and factor of the lifestyle-related diseases | |
LecturerKeisuke Shibata |
Research on strength and conditioning for health promotion and sports performance. | |
| Clinical Nutrition | ProfessorKatsuro Hagiwara |
1) Research on epidemiology, prevention and treatment of infectious diseases in livestock and wild animals. 2) Research on bovine immune function. 3) Research on tumor immunity |
ProfessorKatsuki Otani |
1. Research on the functions of antioxidants in various diseases in which reactive oxygen species are involved 2. Research on effective methods of processing food ingredients and antioxidant intake to improve lifestyle-related diseases |

Food Environmental Management
| Food Microorganism Management | Associate ProfessorKei Muramatsu |
Our research subject is the effects of carbohydrate on microorganisms. We study carbohydrate utilization of bifidobacteria, search for bacteria that can utilize fructooligosaccharides and resource utilization of lactose by microorganisms. |
