About
Sensory nutrition is the study of the food'sSensory properties, bioregulatory function, and preferenceの
This is a new academic discipline that explores crosstalk.
Why sensory nutrition?
Food has three functions.
Until now, these three functions have been studied separately.
Food Sense and Brain-Gut Correlation
On the other hand, recent studies have shown that the taste and smell of
“food sense“ signals are accepted not only in the oral and nasal cavities, but also in the gastrointestinal tract, where they are directlyActivates the brainIt is now known that the enzymes are involved in the regulation of the body's functions.
In other words, the functional expression of food.”brain-body correlation” was revealed to be of paramount importance.
Our Goals and Products
”The database integrates food sensation, eating behavior, preference, and bio-modulation for researchers who are exploring ”sensory nutrition".
Polyphenol Finder
Database for polyphenols, which represent the greatest diversity of plant secondary metabolites.
-Basic information (molecular weight, structural formula, 2D/3D structure, etc.)
-Physical and chemical properties (LogP, stability)Sensory characteristics (human panel test results)(binding energy value with taste receptors)
-Bioregulatory actions (circulatory system)Energy Metabolic System）
* are some compounds
Sweetener Finder
Database for natural and synthetic sweeteners
–Basic information (molecular weight, structural formula, 2D/3D structure, etc.)
-Physicochemical properties (properties and solubility)
-Sensory characteristics (taste, odor, sweetness)Taste changes with pH/temperature）
