Have you ever heard of Michiyo Tsujimura?
Google is celebrating this woman today, and we were wondering what is so special about her…. Well, according to Wikipedia, Michiyo Tsujimura (辻村みちよ, 17 September 1888 – 1 June 1969) was a Japanese agricultural scientist and biochemist whose research focused on the components of green tea. She was the first woman in Japan to receive a doctoral degree in agriculture. Tsujimura identified different components of green tea, including vitamin C, which led to an increase in the export of green tea from Japan to North America, according to the digital archives of Ochanomizu University, a women’s university in the Japanese capital Tokyo, where she was a professor.
Green tea later was one of the fastest growing exports in the U.S. Ever wondered why green tea can taste bitter? That’s due to its catechin and tannin components, both of which were also discovered by Tsujimura.
Happy Birthday Tsujimura!
