An Optimization Model for the Banana Northern Prawn Fishery [PDF]

open access: yes
This study presents an optimal control model of the Banana Northern Prawn Fishery, one of the most important fisheries in Australia. The life cycle of this species involves migration between the sea, where the catch takes place, and the estuary, where ...

Beyond the C/N Ratio: The Critical Role of Carbon Bioavailability in Aerobic Composting of Agricultural Waste

open access: yesClean Technologies
The initial carbon-to-nitrogen (C/N) ratio is a fundamental parameter for aerobic composting, with a generally recommended optimal range of 25:1 to 30:1. However, in practical applications, the optimal C/N ratio often deviates from the recommended value.

Bioavailability through lactic fermentation in millet for combating hidden hunger

open access: yesFood Biomacromolecules, EarlyView.
Millets are nutrient‐rich grains with considerable potential to combat hidden hunger, but the presence of anti‐nutritional factors, can restrict mineral bioavailability. Processing strategies including soaking, germination, cooking, and lactic acid fermentation can reduce the anti‐nutritional factors.

Engineering a Multifunctional g‐C3N4/TiO2 Active Packaging Film With Enhanced Barrier and Photocatalytic Properties for Postharvest Preservation of Plum Fruit

open access: yesFuture Postharvest and Food, EarlyView.
The engineered g‐C3N4/TiO2@PVA active packaging film efficiently degrades exogenous ethylene under LED irradiation, effectively suppressing the endogenous ripening pathway of “Wushan” plums. Combined with enhanced barrier properties, this multifunctional film significantly delays the climacteric respiration peak and extends fruit shelf life.

Nutritional, Functional, and Analytical Characterization of Banana Blossom: A Waste Valorization Approach

open access: yesFuture Postharvest and Food, EarlyView.
Banana blossom (Musa paradisiaca spp.). Segregation of different parts (Pistil, Calyx, Bract, Stem). Nutritional, Functional and Analytical Characterisation. Bract has high carbohydrate, aminoacids and nutrient profile. Stem has high protein and colour stability. Pistil has better flavour binding, lipid interactions and strong cooking stability. Banana
