【Introduction of speaker】
Education:
PhD. Industrial Chemistry, Hiroshima University, Japan, March 1995
M.Eng, Industrial Chemistry, Hiroshima University, Japan, March 1992
Work Experience:
Yegaki Biotechnology, Inc., R&D Division, Japan, 1995-present
The Yaegaki Group consists of five companies. The parent company, Yaegaki Sake & Spirits, Inc., was founded in 1666 and has a history of 350 years and offers a variety of alcohol beverages such as sake, shochu (Japan’s distilled spirit), rice vodka and cooking seasoning. It became to global supplier of Japanese premium sake exporting to America, Europe, and Asian countries.
Yaegaki Biotechnology, Inc. was established in 1979 from the pigment business division developed from sake brewing fermentation technology.
Now, Yaegaki Biotechnology, Inc. is conducting research and development of health foods, pharmaceutical ingredients, cosmetics, etc. by use of the microorganisms. On the other hand, we are also conducting research and development of natural pigments and health foods by targeting natural products with the technologies of extraction and purification.
Root of our R&D is traditional oriental brewing for Japanese Sake. Japanese Sake is produced from by traditional oriental brewing with cooperation of three types of microorganisms: koji (Aspergillus oryze), lactic acid bacteria, and yeast. Based on these traditional oriental brewing technologies, we developed modern fermentation engineering, such as industrialized cultivation of lactic acid bacteria, Aspergillus oryzen, Aspergillus awamori, Monascus, Gluconobacter, Yeast, Mushroom, Alga. by large scall fermentation tanks.
By use of these technologies, we are manufacturing and providing related products: [Multi-grain’ Koji] - fermented grain powder; [ProfiberTM]- rice resistant protein; [Plant-based lactic fermented material YJK-13]-Soybean peptide fermented with lactic acid bacteria; etc. We would like to introduce these products and explain our R&D.
