令和７年９月19日に開催された「第36回日本木材学会中国四国支部大会」において、大学院農林海洋科学専攻１年の中村涼介さんが、研究発表賞（口頭部門）を受賞しました。
This award is presented to the most outstanding young presenter.
Mr. Nakamura presented on the topic of “Preparation of Water- and Oil-Repellent Paper Using Natural Ingredients,” discussing the effects of adding yuzu peel—which had previously been discarded—to paper on its water- and oil-repellent properties.The research demonstrated that adding yuzu peel to paper confers high water- and oil-repellency, and further identified effective measures to address the issue of deteriorating water quality in paper mill wastewater caused by the use of yuzu peel. These findings demonstrate that discarded yuzu peel is a viable alternative to petroleum-based water- and oil-repellent agents, and the proposal of new applications was highly praised.
