Evaluation of food quality by food metabolomics

Supervisor
Yoko IIJIMA: Professor

Main topic in our laboratory is to construct comprehensive food constituent analysis (food metabolomics) and apply it to evaluation of food quality. Especially, we focus on comprehensive flavor analysis to understand food palatability and investigate effects of food processing such as cooking and fermentation to it. Also, we try to elucidate the function of a plant and microalgae as food materials.

Topics of research
  • Chemical analysis and characterization on flavor of foods
  • Evaluation of food quality by metabolomics
  • The production of useful materials by microalga
