Overview

Makoto Sakata is a researcher affiliated with Nagoya University in Japan. Their work spans several key fields including Medicine, Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology, with a particular focus on subfields such as Molecular Medicine, Food Science, Biochemistry, Physiology, and Pharmacology.

The research topics Sakata has addressed include:

  • Curcumin's Biomedical Applications
  • Food Chemistry and Fat Analysis
  • Phytochemicals and Antioxidant Activities
  • Biochemical effects in animals
  • Pharmacological Effects of Medicinal Plants

Sakata has contributed to scientific literature notably on the topic of curcumin, which is reflected in their recent publications. Two specific papers demonstrate their research interests and outputs:

  • "Polyglycerol fatty acid ester contributes to the improvement and maintenance of water solubility of amorphous curcumin by suppressing the intermolecular interaction and the diffusion rate of curcumin," published in 2023 in Food Chemistry.
  • "Curcumin Is Primarily Distributed in Lung, Spleen and Liver, Metabolized to Glucuronide and Sulfate, and Excreted through Bile and Urine by Using an Amorphous Curcumin Formulation with High Absorbability," published in 2025 in Biological and Pharmaceutical Bulletin.

In these works, the role of curcumin's bioavailability, solubility, and metabolic distribution has been examined, providing insights into its biochemical and pharmacological behavior.

Sakata has frequently collaborated with several co-authors, including:

  • Tomohiro Nakao
  • Mariko Takeda
  • Haruna Hirai
  • Michiko Nakamura
  • Jianqing Gao

The research venues where Sakata has published most often include:

  • Food Chemistry
  • Biological and Pharmaceutical Bulletin

This focus on multidisciplinary approaches combining food science, pharmacology, and molecular medicine reflects Sakata's contributions to advancing understanding in curcumin-related biomedical applications and food chemistry research.
