Prevention schemes for future fresh agricultural products (FAPs) supply chain: mathematical model and experience of guar...
Published in Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture
BACKGROUND The COVID‐19 outbreak caused short‐term disruptions in the supply chain of fresh agricultural products (FAPs), which exposed the vulnerability of the existing FAP supply chain. With pandemic control being widely coordinated, the supply chain of FAPs was gradually optimized and improved. However, after the outbreak of COVID‐19, achieving ...
Comparison of the seed nutritional composition between conventional varieties and transgenic soybean overexpressing Phys...
...Published in Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture
BACKGROUND PfFAD3 transgenic soybean expressing omega‐3 fatty acid desaturase 3 of Physaria produces increased level of α‐linolenic acid in seed. Composition data of non‐transgenic conventional varieties is important in the safety assessment of the genetically‐modified (GM) crops in the context of the natural variation. RESULTS The natural variatio...
Priorities for science to overcome hurdles thwarting the full promise of the 'digital agriculture' revolution.
Published in Journal of the science of food and agriculture
The world needs to produce more food, more sustainably, on a planet with scarce resources and under changing climate. The advancement of technologies, computing power and analytics offers the possibility that 'digitalisation of agriculture' can provide new solutions to these complex challenges. The role of science is to evidence and support the des...
Comprehensive polyphenolic profiling in promising resistant grapevine hybrids including 17 novel breeds in northern Ital...
Published in Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture
BACKGROUND A promising way to overcome the susceptibility of Vitis vinifera L. to fungal diseases is the integration of genetic resistance by the interspecific crossing between V. vinifera varieties and resistant species. However, the products of such hybrids are still not accepted by customers, particularly due to their organoleptic characteristic...
Identification of the volatile profiles of 22 traditional and newly bred maize varieties and their porridges by PTR‐QiTO...
Published in Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture
BACKGROUND Low adoption of maize varieties bred to address the nutritional needs of the growing African population limits their impact. Aroma is essential in consumer preference, but has hitherto hardly been studied. We analysed the volatile organic compounds of flours and porridges of 22 maize varieties belonging to four nutritionally distinct gro...
Total reflection X-ray fluorescence analysis of elemental composition of herbal infusions and teas.
Published in Journal of the science of food and agriculture
The elemental composition of herbal infusions and teas has not been sufficiently investigated. It could potentially be used for defining fingerprints for individual herbal / tea infusions, differentiation of botanical families, detecting the influence of packaging, and other purposes. The objective of this study was to determine the elemental compo...
Cultured beef: from small biopsy to substantial quantity
Published in Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture
Cultured meat is an emerging technology with the potential to solve huge challenges related to the environmental, ethical, and health implications of conventional meat production. Establishing the basic science of cultured meat has been the primary focus of the last decade but it is now feasible that cultured meat products will enter the market wit...
Almond by‐product composition impacts the rearing of black soldier fly larvae and quality of the spent substrate as a so...
Published in Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture
BACKGROUND Insect biomass is a sustainable alternative to traditional animal feeds, particularly when insects are produced on low‐value high‐volume agricultural by‐products. Seven samples of almond by‐product (hulls and shells) were obtained from processors in California and investigated for larvae production. Experiments were completed with and wi...
Size development of tomatoes growing in trusses: linking time of fruit set to diameter
Published in Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture
BACKGROUND Size of fruit is an important issue in determining yield at harvest. Even under controlled conditions, variation between fruit and trusses can be considerable. As an easy to measure indication of size, the diameter of tomatoes growing in trusses was assessed in three experiments with different number of tomatoes per truss, as well as cul...
