カラギナン/銀ナノ粒子の環境調和型合成とその抗菌性 Green Synthesis of Carrageenan-Silver Nanoparticles and Its Antibacterial Properties

The morphological characterizations revealed the formation of flower-like c-AgNPs composed of intercrossed and random lamellar petals of approximately 50 nm in thickness. The prepared materials displayed promising antibacterial properties against E. coli and S. aureus.

With 1st year students: A Sustainable “Food” Society.「食」循環型社会を考える。1年生の授業

食料の価格高騰が続いている。「食」の未来について対策の提案を試みる。Food prices continue to increase. We will try to propose strategies for the future of food.

Resistance to collapse: Spherical vs. non-spherical particles. 球形が崩壊しにくい？微粒子（数百nm領域）では世界初の検証。

The resistance to collapse of agglomerated submicron particles was investigated. The world’s first. 凝集したサブミクロン粒子の崩壊に対する抵抗性を調べた研究。世界初。

病原体を攻める食品の開発、獣医学科と連携

To develop foods that can fight infectious diseases among children in developing countries.

To “plastic-free” agriculture: Chemical-coating of clay-based soil particles slows water evaporation. 粘土系土壌粒子の化学コーティングは水の蒸発を遅らせる。農業の「廃プラ」へ

A silane-coupling-coating can be applied to natural clayey soil. 天然の粘土質土壌にシランカップリング剤系コーティング【プラスチック材料を使用しない農業へ】

Topic (Hirano Lab): From traditional food (tempe bongkrek) to synthesis of pharmaceutical 伝統食品 (テンペ・ボンクレック) と医薬品合成

Bongkrek acid is a natural toxin produced in fermented coconut (tempeh) or corn contaminated by bacteria. ボンクレック酸は、発酵したココナッツ (テンペ) または細菌に汚染されたトウモロコシで生産される天然の毒素です。

TUAT “moonshot” project PI, Dr. T. Suzuki on NHK-TV (Feb.6)“昆虫食”が世界を救う”Insect Food” will save the world.

多様な方法で「貧栄養のエサ」から「良質のたんぱく質を作り出す」昆虫の驚きの能力や、飼育による環境負荷が小さい「地球にやさしい食糧源」としての可能性も見えてきた。various ways, and their potential as an “earth-friendly food source” with a small environmental impact from their farming, have also come to be recognized.

Short Introductions of other papers: /paper/ Komatsuna plants were grown and exposed to ammonium sulfate (((NH4)2SO4), AS) submicron particles for 16 days (22.5 µg m−3 per day) in phytotrons. The amount of particles deposited on the leaf decreased over time, because AS particles deposited on the leaf deliquesced, allowing ions such as SO42− in the…
