Physicochemical properties and antioxidant activities of marula fruit (Sclerocarya birrea subsp. Caffra) steamed and boiled before juice extraction. [PDF]

Food Sci Nutr, 2023
This study showed the importance of processing on nutritional qualities of marula fruit juice. The boiling and steaming decrease the vitamin C content of the juice when compared to unprocessed marula fruit. Steaming of the fruit (Marula) before juicing increases the total phenolic content and antioxidant activities of the marula fruit juice.

Coexistence, resource partitioning, and fisheries management: A tale of two mesopredators in equatorial waters. [PDF]

J Fish Biol
Abstract Rock hind (Epinephelus adscensionis) and spotted moray (Gymnothorax moringa) are ubiquitous mesopredators that co‐occur in the nearshore waters of Ascension Island in the South Atlantic Ocean, where they have significant cultural and subsistence value, but management of their non‐commercial take is limited.

A global synthesis of trends in human experience of nature

Frontiers in Ecology and the Environment, Volume 21, Issue 2, Page 85-93, March 2023., 2023
The popular perception that humans are undergoing a global extinction of “experience of nature” (EoN) is poorly supported by empirical evidence. Here, we provide – to the best of our knowledge – the first global systematic review of trends in EoN, identifying only 18 studies that measured temporal trends in EoN.

Production of polyhydroxyalkanoate nanoparticles using a green solvent

Journal of Applied Polymer Science, Volume 139, Issue 23, June 15, 2022., 2022
This study investigated the use of acetic acid solvent to produce poly(3‐hydroxybutyrate‐co‐3‐hydroxyvalerate) (PHBV) nanoparticles. By controlling conditions such as the concentrations of stock (solute/solvent) and receiving solutions (non‐solvent), the nanoparticle size can be controlled.
