New Delhi: Google on Friday paid tribute to Japanese teacher and biochemist Michio. tsujimura133rd birthday with doodle.
The Google homepage shows him the study and extraction of the chemical constituents of green tea.
Michio Tsujimura, born 1888 in Oegawa in 1888, Saitama Prefecture In Japan, she is known for her groundbreaking research into the nutritional benefits of green tea.
According to Google’s blog, Tsujimura spent his early career teaching science. In 1920, he pursued his dream of becoming a scientific researcher at Hokkaido Imperial University, where he began analyzing the nutritional properties of the Japanese silkworm.
A few years later, Tsujimura transferred to Tokyo Imperial University and Dr. umetaro suzuki, famous for the discovery of vitamin B1. Their joint research showed that green tea contained significant amounts of vitamin C—the first of several unknown molecular compounds in green tea that awaited under the microscope.
In 1929, Tsujimura isolated catechins—a bitter component of tea. Then, the next year he isolated tannins, an even more bitter compound. These findings laid the foundation for her doctoral thesis, “On the Chemical Components of Green Tea”, when she graduated in 1932 as Japan’s first female doctor of agriculture.
Outside of her research, Dr. Tsujimura also made history as a teacher when she became the first dean of the Faculty of Home Economics at Tokyo Women’s Higher Normal School in 1950. Today, a stone monument in honor of Dr. Tsujimura’s achievements can be found in his birthplace of Okegawa City.
