  • Hinaichidori chicken “Midori” raised on a diet of Euglena

    The world's first Hinaichidori chicken raised with microalgae Euglena and Chlorella powder as feed. 　 We have been conducting research on the use of Euglena and Chlorella, which are rich in protein and other nutrients, not only as food ingredients but also as feed. In this research, we conducted a feeding test using Euglena and Chlorella powders for Hinai Jidori chickens with the aim of extracting more of the yellowish fat and arachidonic acid, which are considered to be the characteristics of Hinai Jidori chickens, as well as the abundant arachidonic acid contained in them. The results showed that the Hinaichidori chickens fed with Euglena and Chlorella powders had a stronger yellow taste in their fat and an increase in arachidonic acid content, which tended to affect the improvement of umami. Translated with www.DeepL.com/Translator (free version) We will continue to verify the effects of using the microalgae Euglena as feed and aim to improve its value as feed.

  • Paramylon Rayon

    Developed and patented Paramylon rayon using Paramylon, a unique component of Euglena.(Patent No. 6654264), and confirmed improved growth inhibitory effect on bacteria (joint research with Omikenshi Co., Ltd.).

  • Euglena that doesn’t swim

    Breeding Using Heavy Ion Beams to Obtain Non-swimmable Mutants Normal properties except for swimming ability. Sink quickly due to non-swimming, expected to simplify recovery. (Joint research with RIKEN Center for Sustainable Resource Science) https://youtu.be/ZDRor6tPBiM By creating a non-swimming mutant, we were able to capturethe cell division process over a period of more than two hours. Sedimentation comparison between wild strain (WT) and non-swimmable strain (M-3ZFeL) https://youtu.be/BWvGB9Tquao Wild strain of Euglena that can swim

  • Compost and culture soil containing euglena

    Confirmed the fermentation-accelerating effect of adding Euglena to compost production, and obtained a patent (Patent No. 6746020).Confirmed improved root growth in mini-carrot cultivation using culture soil containing euglena compost. （Joint research with Kobashi INDUSTRIES Co. Ltd.） Package of Euglena Culture Soil Results of cultivating mini carrots using Euglena culture soil

  • Evaluation of immunostimulatory effect using human iPS cell-derived myeloid cells (Mylc cells)

    Mylc cells are immature myeloid cells that have been further immortalized after differentiation of human iPS cells and can be induced to differentiate into dendritic cells. Mylc cells are immature myeloid cells that have been immortalized after induction of differentiation from human iPS cells, and can be induced to differentiate into dendritic cells. The immune response that has been confirmed in Euglena-derived substances has been reproduced in experiments using Mylc cells.

  • The Future of Food

    Taste devices are developed to stimulate the tongue with electrical signals to complement taste, promote saliva secretion, and aid digestion and absorption, with the expectation of enjoyable meals and health maintenance. In addition, a prototype meat substitute hamburger made from 100% environmentally friendly Euglena was developed as a future meal. Taste devices Hamburger made from 100% Euglena

  • Copper chlorophyll pigment from Euglena

    Copper chlorophyll, a reaction of chlorophyll and copper, is stable against light and acid, has a bright green color, and is used as an additive in cosmetics and food. Copper chlorophyll is created using chlorophyll extracted from Euglena and used as a pigment. https://youtu.be/w8x37IZfR68

  • Algae Terrace Cafe

    A café where you can feel the fresh air while avoiding the outdoor sun. Cafe terrace where you can cool off surrounded by algae You can also enjoy a different view at night. Culture tank supplemented with LED lighting.
