Uncovering the Key Factors Influencing Phytochemical and Phytopharmacological Properties During Medicinal Plant Processing

open access: yeseFood, Volume 7, Issue 1, February 2026.
From farm to pharma, this review details the engineering of quality in medicinal plants through a science‐driven approach: it first elucidates how genetic and environmental factors inscribe the plant's phytochemical and phytopharmacological profile before harvest, and then dissects the postharvest techniques and technologies—chemical and thermal pre ...

The influence of a solar‐assisted heat pump dryer integrated with thermal energy storage on reducing fungal load in dried products (maize and groundnuts)

open access: yesJSFA reports, Volume 6, Issue 2, Page 18-28, February 2026.
Abstract Background Fungal contamination is a major issue in agriculture, especially during pre‐ and post‐harvest stages, affecting grains like maize and groundnuts. Traditional drying methods, such as open sun drying, have not been effective in preventing fungal risks.
