Dr. Kazuo Miyashita is a Professor in Department of Bio-resources Chemistry, Faculty of Fisheries Sciences, Hokkaido University, Japan. He obtained his B.Sc. (Hons) and M.S. in Agriculture Science at Tohoku University, Japan. He obtained his Ph.D from Agricultural Science, Tohoku University with Dissertation entitle “Study on the Dimers Formed during the First Stage of Auto-oxidation of Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids” in 1985. He has worked in the field of lipid oxidation for more than 30 years. In recent years he also focused on the lipid soluble nutrients such as fucoxanthin and astaxanthin which have great impact on human health. Major research interest is lipid oxidation. Particular attention has been paid to oxidative stability of fish oils and omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids in biological systems. A recent focus in this area has been the effective prevention of fish oil oxidation. Efforts have been also directed at the study on the lipid soluble nutrients such as fucoxanthin, a kind of marine carotenoid, which have great impact on human health. The achievement has been published more than 200 pure reviewed papers (including 3 Japanese papers), 3 book editions (including 1 Japanese book), 50 book chapters (including 11 Japanese book chapters), 60 reviews (including 30 Japanese reviews), and 25 patents.
