Food Tastes in the United States: Convergence or Divergence?

Agribusiness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study investigates how food consumption tastes have changed in recent decades across the United States. Using NielsenIQ data for over 77 million transactions, there is evidence of divergence in food tastes across regions from 2007 to 2016 and across households of different income, education, and race/ethnicity groups.

Metallic local-moment magnetocalorics as a route to cryogenic refrigeration

Communications Materials
Commercial adiabatic demagnetisation refrigerators still employ the same hydrated salts that were first introduced over 85 years ago. The inherent limitations of these insulating magnetocalorics – poor thermal conductivity at sub-Kelvin temperatures, low

Optimization of a household refrigerator considering alternative refrigerants

, 1992
With the eventual ban of chlorinated refrigerants, alternative refrigerants are under consideration to supply the refrigeration needs of the industry. Introducing new refrigerants to existing refrigeration systems may decrease the thermal efficiency of ...

Does a Specialized Niche Market Vegetable Processor Enjoy Bargaining Power?

Agribusiness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Agribusiness companies may achieve competitive advantage through specialization within niche markets. One such niche is the fresh‐cut fruit and vegetable market, which has been steadily growing in Germany. This study examines whether the specialization of a German fresh‐cut producer grants it with market power within this niche market.

Animal‐Based Brands Taking the Plant‐Based Opportunity: A Tasting Experiment Exploring Consumer Acceptance of Plant‐Based Brand Extensions

Agribusiness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study investigates how consumer taste and brand equity perceptions shape the acceptance of plant‐based milk products. Using a blind/informed tasting experiment, we evaluated consumers' willingness to buy (WTB) and taste perception of a plant‐based milk alternative produced by a traditional dairy brand, compared with competing plant‐based ...

Reconfiguring Fresh Produce Supply Chains in Response to Drought Risk: Evidence From the U.S. Broccoli Market

Agribusiness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Drought is among the most severe and persistent threats to food supply chains, and relocating production to less drought‐prone regions offers a strategy to reduce this risk. This is particularly relevant for fresh vegetables, which are highly water‐intensive, yet drought‐driven reconfiguration strategies remain understudied.

Oxygen‐Tolerant Photo‐Induced Miniaturized Accelerated Atom Transfer Radical Polymerization (OPTIMA‐ATRP) for High‐Throughput Synthesis of Polymer Bioconjugates

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
Oxygen‐tolerant photo‐induced miniaturized accelerated atom transfer radical polymerization (OPTIMA‐ATRP) in water was developed for the polymerization of hydrophilic (meth)acrylate monomers under ambient or sub‐ambient (4°C) temperature and atmospheric conditions, without prior degassing, in less than 10 min, at an ultra‐small scale (< 50 µL) in ...
