[Doctoral Course] Food and Nutrition Science

Characteristics of Food Processing

Food processing	Professor Makoto Ishioroshi	Gelation is an important processing characteristic in food processing. We mainly study the heating gelation of the protein including the principles of gelation, its interaction with other ingredients, and analysis methods using meat products as an example.
	Professor Yasuyuki Takeda	We investigate details of physicochemical changes, processing properties and influences to human health of fermented milk products through the analysis of the ecology and the functional characteristics of the relating lactic acid bacteria and aim to produce high value-adding fermenting milk products.
	Professor Yasuhiro Funatsu	We develop a novel food material that combines heterologous muscle protein for the purpose of effective use of underutilized water livestock resources. We analyze the gelling properties by several aspects such as rheological characteristics, protein analysis, and fine structure.
Food Physics	Professor Isamu Kaneda	We study physicochemical properties of food as soft matter by mainly using rheological method. The subject of our research is hydrogel and concentrated colloidal dispersions.

Nutrition Chemistry

Food and Nutrition Chemistry	Professor Shuichi Onodera	Biochemical and molecular biological research on food and nutrition components and biofunctional components affecting lipid metabolism and carbohydrate metabolism
Food Function Biochemistry	Associate Professor Tomohiro Iwasaki	Research on the food functions for the muscle plasticity,hypertrophy and prevention of atrophy using biochemical and molecular biological and histological methods.

Health and Nutrition　

Health and Nutrition	Professor Itaru Terai	Research on isolating plasma nucleic acid degrading enzyme and studying it how it breaks down de novo synthesis aptamer.
Health and Nutrition	Associate Professor Taichi Yamaguchi	Research to clarify methods of nutrition intake and exercise 1) for maintenance and promotion of health and 2) for improvement of sports performance
Clinical Nutrition	Professor Satomi Ishii	Research on the development of new food and lipid metabolism from food and health perspective. Research on Immunostimulatory action, and nutrition and metabolism of traditional fermented food. Research on nutrition, functionality and characteristics of fermented milk of the world. Research on traditional food culture.

Food Environment Management

Food Microorganism Management	Professor Akihiro Yamagichi	Construction pro-living body interaction analysis using a) food microbe and the cultured cell
