Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Masaru Nomura"
- Masaru Nomura's recent research primarily focuses on the application of koji mold in cheese production, exploring its impact on taste and chemical characteristics compared to traditional cheeses, with studies employing innovative methods like electronic tongue systems and non-targeted metabolite profiling.
- His studies have demonstrated that surface-ripened cheeses with implications from koji molds (Aspergillus oryzae and Aspergillus sojae) exhibit distinct volatile and soluble metabolite profiles, revealing their potential to yield unique flavors and textures in cheese ripening processes.
- In addition to his work in food science, Nomura's research also delves into medical applications, investigating the effects of preoperative chemotherapy on rectal cancer patients, thereby contributing valuable insights into therapeutic strategies for cancer treatment.
