?Comment from Takashi AKAZAWA
?My study is on the whites of chicken eggs. Two projects are ongoing. One is on the secondary function of food (taste function) and the other is on the tertiary function of food (biological adjustment).
?For the tertiary function, I am studying the development of chicken embryos to clarify the physiological function of egg white protein.
?For the secondary function, I am studying the texture improvement of gelled food, which consists of protein.
?At this conference, I gave a presentation on a peculiar polyphenol of olive, which improves the intensity of gel on egg white protein.
?Encouraged by receiving this award, I’ll continue to study the function of the whites of chicken eggs. ???
