Illuminating Streptomyces: Raman Spectroscopy for Antibiotic Detection and Monitoring

Journal of Raman Spectroscopy, EarlyView.
Raman spectroscopy provides a non‐destructive, label‐free approach for studying the chemical diversity of Streptomyces. This review presents its application from detection to chemical characterization of secondary metabolites and monitoring of biosynthetic processes.

Ecofriendly management of anthracnose on avocado caused by Colletotrichum perseae in the Mediterranean basin

JSFA reports, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Colletotrichum perseae, recently reported in Europe, causes stem and twig lesions and dieback, and fruit rot on avocado in several countries. Due to EU severe restrictions, there is an urgent need for sustainable alternatives to fungicides.

Aflatoxin contamination in dried fruits and nuts in Bangladesh: Occurrence, dietary exposure, and health risk assessment

JSFA reports, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Dried fruits and nuts are widely consumed for their desirable sensory qualities and high nutritional value, providing essential nutrients such as proteins, healthy fatty acids, potassium, dietary fiber, and bioactive compounds. However, they are highly susceptible to aflatoxin contamination, particularly in humid tropical regions ...

Ozonation as a promising approach to improve stored rice quality in Ghana

JSFA reports, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Two species of rice pests that are responsible for postharvest losses, the rice weevil (Sitophilus oryzae) and the Angoumois moth (Sitotroga cerealella), are major destructive pests responsible for paddy grain deterioration. A benchtop custom‐built model of ozone‐generating equipment from ozone generator DKM‐10GY, producing 2000 ppm

Antimicrobial bilayer starch film containing zein electrospun fibers encapsulating thyme essential oil for cherry tomato packaging

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract Background This study evaluated the antimicrobial activity of thyme essential oil (TEO) encapsulated in electrospun zein fibers for use in bilayer films as active packaging for cherry tomatoes. The antimicrobial activity of TEO and bilayer films with 20%, 40%, and 60% TEO was assessed with agar diffusion and microatmosphere assays.

Fine mapping of cucumber downy mildew resistance loci identifies candidate genes linked to ethylene‐associated stomatal defence

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND Downy mildew, caused by Pseudoperonospora cubensis, is one of the most destructive diseases affecting cucumber and remains difficult to manage sustainably through fungicide‐dependent control strategies. Although several resistance loci have been reported, many previously mapped regions remain too broad for efficient marker‐assisted ...

The ionic liquid-assisted sample preparation method pTRUST allows sensitive proteome characterization of a variety of bacterial endospores to aid in the search for protein biomarkers.

PLoS ONE
Bacterial endospores are ubiquitous and are responsible for various human infections. Recently, we reported that an ionic liquid (IL)-based sample preparation method (named pTRUST) facilitated highly efficient shotgun analysis of the Bacillus subtilis ...
