Outline of research activities
Salmon milt, defatted soybeans, crab and shrimp shells, and cowhide have been discarded as an industrial waste around the world. Therefore, DNA, soy protein, chitin/chitosan, and collagen, which are obtained from these materials, are sustainable resources. Our research using sustainable resources is as follows; 1) removal of harmful organic compounds; 2) selective accumulation of metal ion; 3) development of anhydrous proton conducting material; and 4) development of bioplastic with the biodegradable property.
