Lactuca sativa L. losses and wastes as a source of biobased ingredients

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND The growing global population and increasing consumer focus on healthy eating challenge the agricultural sector to ensure both sustainable food production and safety. Lettuce (Lactuca sativa Mill.), the most cultivated leafy vegetable worldwide, can lose up to 40% of its weight during processing.

Polyamine treatments: an effective strategy to improve crop yield and fruit colour and to preserve quality of ‘Mollar de Elche’ pomegranate fruit during storage at chilling temperatures

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND Climate change in Spain is altering the optimal conditions for producing high‐quality ‘Mollar de Elche’ pomegranate fruit, due to reduced colour development in husk and arils. In addition, the pomegranate requires storage above 7–10 °C, depending on cultivar, to preserve its quality because it is susceptible to chilling injury (CI ...

Combined effects of prohexadione‐calcium and growing environment on sweet cherry fruit quality and postharvest performance

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND Sweet cherry (Prunus avium L.) is a high‐value fruit crop, but its commercial success is often limited by poor pigmentation, reduced firmness, and short shelf life. This study evaluated the effects of preharvest applications of prohexadione‐calcium (1.5 L ha−1) on fruit quality and storage performance in lowland and hilly orchards ...

Characterization of the anthocyanin-related flavanone 3-hydroxylase (F3H) genes and functional analysis of VcF3H2 in blueberry

Fruit Research
Flavanone 3-hydroxylase (F3H) is a key enzyme involved in plant flavonoid/anthocyanin biosynthesis pathways. In this study, we identified eight candidate anthocyanin-related F3H genes from blueberry (Vaccinium corymbosum), and characterized their ...

Hyperspectral signatures reveal hidden stress in soybean caused by residual nicosulfuron

New Plant Protection, EarlyView.
Residual nicosulfuron in soil triggers a distinct injury–regulation–collapse trajectory in soybean. Multimodal phenotyping combining hyperspectral, UV‐MCF, and chlorophyll fluorescence imaging enables early, non‐invasive detection and dynamic monitoring of latent herbicide stress, offering a mechanistic basis for risk assessment in crop rotation ...

Exploration of the Phytochemical and Antidiabetic Properties of Teucrium polium: A Natural Asset for Type 2 Diabetes Management

ChemistryOpen, EarlyView.
Teucrium polium shows antidiabetic activity with its phytochemical composition and biological activities. The essential oil is rich in carvacrol, thymol, γ‐terpinene, and o‐cymene, while the aqueous and hydroethanolic extracts are characterized by poliumoside, verbascoside, isorhamnetin‐3‐O‐rutinoside, and apigenin‐7‐rutinoside. Antioxidant activity is
