Welcome to Applied Microbiology and Enzume Chemistry Laboratory
We are studying on extractraction of various sugars from biomass resources
and conversion them using fermentation and enzymatic reaction to produce
novel functional sugars such as oligosaccharides and rare sugars with high
added value. Various functionalities are being discovered in these sugars,
such as suppression of elevated blood glucose levels, anti-obesity, anti-oxidation,
immunostimulating, prebiotics and calcium absorption promoting effects.
We are welcome you join us in our sugar research. We are also engaged in
research that can contribute to solving environmental and regional problems
by utilizing biotechnological techniques such as recycling of udon wastes
and inheritance of traditional fermented tea. Study Keywords are follows;
rare sugar, D-allulose, D-allose, oligosaccharide, nigerose, xylobiose,
fermentation, enzyme reaction, functional food, prebiotics, lactic acid
bacteria, udon, awa-bancha tea.
