From Agro‐Industrial Waste to Functional Packaging Using Antimicrobial and Mechanically Reinforced Starch Foams With Melon Seed and Rosemary

Journal of Applied Polymer Science, Volume 143, Issue 43, November 15, 2026.
Agro‐industrial waste was upcycled into biodegradable starch foams reinforced with melon seed and rosemary flours, yielding sustainable food packaging with enhanced mechanical performance, selective antimicrobial activity, and rapid biodegradation. ABSTRACT The demand for sustainable alternatives to petroleum‐based packaging has promoted starch‐based ...

Squills vs. Hyacinths – A revised genus delimitation in Hyacinthinae (Hyacintheae, Scilloideae, Asparagaceae) based on phylogenomics

TAXON, Volume 75, Issue 5, October 2026.
Abstract Scilla s.l. (Asparagaceae: Scilloideae) represents a notable Mediterranean geophyte radiation, yet genus delimitation in subtribe Hyacinthinae has long suffered from inconsistent and conflicting generic concepts. A limited set of informative morphological characters and recurrent shifts in circumscription have repeatedly hindered progress ...

Impacts of Species Introductions on the Trait Diversity of Interacting Avian Frugivores and Fleshy‐Fruited Plants Depend on Native Trait Diversity

Global Ecology and Biogeography, Volume 35, Issue 10, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim The introduction of non‐native species to native ecological communities by humans is a major driver of global biodiversity change. Studying how species introductions influence interacting species is essential to understanding possible functional consequences of global change because biotic interactions are ecologically crucial.

Glucuronyl Glucosyloleanolate: A Safe and Potent AI‐Discovered Depigmenting Saponin

Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, Volume 25, Issue 10, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Purpose Saponins are amphiphilic glycosides found in plants. They have long been used in traditional Asian remedies for their anti‐inflammatory, protective, and rejuvenating properties. One representative, Glucuronyl Glucosyloleanolate (GGO), was recently discovered using a combination of artificial intelligence and experimental testing as a ...

Food Neophobia in Children: Exploring the Role of Olfaction Through a Novel Toolkit of Fruit and Vegetable Odor Stimuli

Journal of Sensory Studies, Volume 41, Issue 5, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Fruit and vegetable (FV) consumption is promoted by health authorities, but remains too low. In children, low FV consumption is linked to food neophobia (FN), the rejection of unfamiliar foods. Sensory properties play a key role in children's rejection of food, yet the role of olfaction in FN among children remains under‐researched. This study
