KEYWORDS
Japanese society is now facing the “100-year-life” time period. In recent days, the importance of meals and food has been increasing, which has resulted in diversified requirements for food functionality. The objective of the Advanced Food Process Research Unit is to develop novel processing technologies for high-quality food with various additional values, including food most suitable for elderly people and functionalized nutritional food. The basic concept of this research unit is “Designing food functionality” based on an advanced knowledge of food chemistry and food processing technologies.
