The Food Functional Chemistry laboratory conducts research on the establishment of analysis methods, clarification of the oxidation mechanism, in vivo functions, mechanisms of metabolism, etc., of fats and oils. Details of our research are described below:

1．Establishment of analysis methods for fats and oils

• •- Development of a new analysis method for triacylglycerol (TAG) isomers
• •- Quantitative analysis of all TAG isomers contained in fish oil TG
• •- Development of new quantification methods for lipids

2．Clarification of the oxidation mechanism of fats and oils

• •- Clarification of the oxidation mechanism of highly polyunsaturated fatty acids
• •- Research on the oxidation of TAG positional isomers
• •- Research on the oxidation and toxicity of fats and oils

3．Mechanisms of fat and oil metabolism

• •- Research on the combustion of lipids in the body using¹³C
• •- Research on the metabolism of lipids using stable isotope-labeled fatty acids
• •- Research on the relationship between structures and metabolism of TAG
• •- Research on the metabolism of trans fatty acids
