We can recently enjoy a rich life thanks to the benefits of various industrial products. The development of conventional industrial technology, which is oriented towards mass production, has brought affluence to many people through the pursuit of efficiency. We believe that the development of future industry will contribute to promoting people's well-being and increasing their sufficiency. In order to contribute to the construction of the technological platform, this laboratory explores the processing technology necessary for manufacturers to achieve advanced processing. We will create technology, based on chemical engineering, that targets pharmaceuticals and food products, and contribute to the sustainability of society.

The missions of this lab are related to the “freezing”, “drying”, and “preservation” of pharmaceutical and food products. We aim to understand the mechanisms of heat and mass transfer in products, and to control the dynamics of product structure and quality changes.

Current topics are:

・Advanced preservation techniques

・Development of freeze-drying process

・Product structure and functionality

・Model-based quality assurance
