Rational Design of CdS QDs/CeO2 Nanocube S‐Scheme Heterojunctions for Highly Efficient C2H4 Scavenging in Fresh Produce Preservation

ENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.
A novel S‐scheme heterojunction of CdS quantum dots on CeO2 nanocubes was designed to enhance charge separation and oxygen activation for efficient photocatalytic ethylene removal. The optimized composite achieved complete C2H4 degradation within 4 min under low‐intensity visible light, with a rate constant of 1.72 min−1. Mechanistic analysis confirmed

Comparative Effects of Three Microbial Starter Cultures on the Physicochemical and Sensory Quality of Fermented Sausages

Food Bioengineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study innovatively links specific microbial compositions of commercial starter cultures to the evolution of key odorant and taste‐active amino acids, revealing the underlying mechanisms behind distinct flavor profiles. Three microbial starter cultures—Saccharomyces cerevisiae (SC), Scarlet (ST), and Roxaane LC (LC), were added to sausages,

Antioxidant Activity and Inhibition of Carbohydrate Hydrolyzing Enzymes by Underutilized Parts From Some Plant‐Based Foods and Their Effect on Postprandial Hyperglycemia

Food Chemistry International, EarlyView.
The underutilized parts viz: pawpaw seed, banana, plantain, and potato peels showed promising antioxidant and inhibition of α‐amylase and α‐glucosidase activities (IC50 values ≤ 100 μg/mL). Similarly, pawpaw seed, banana, plantain, and potato peels reduced postprandial hyperglycemia in sucrose‐ and maltose‐induced hyperglycemia in rats.

Nutritional Potential, Phytochemical Content, In Vivo Antioxidant, and Antanemic Potential of Musa paradisiaca Flower

Food Chemistry International, EarlyView.
After collecting Musa paradisiaca leaves, some were dried and others were used to produce aqueous extracts. The extracts and powders were characterized and then administered to rats made anaemic by PHZ. After 14 days of administration of the two samples, the rats were euthanized and it was observed that after 9 days of treatment, the aqueous extract ...

Dietary and biomarker‐guided strategies as supportive measures in the fragile X syndrome

Food Biomacromolecules, EarlyView.
Abstract The fragile X syndrome (FXS) is an inherited neurodevelopmental disorder that primarily affects males, often resulting in an IQ below 55, while about two‐thirds of females also experience intellectual disability. Physical features may include an elongated face, prominent ears, finger joint laxity, and enlarged testes in males.

Occurrence and Human Health Implications of Legacy Organochlorine Pesticides and Their Metabolites in Fruits and Vegetables of Bangladesh

Food Safety and Health, EarlyView.
Multiple OCP isomers and/or metabolites along with their parent compounds were detected in commonly consumed fruits and vegetables of Bangladesh, possibly attributed to both recently and historically applied OCPs. However, all the detected values were below 0.01 mg/kg, indicating no potential human health risks through dietary intake. ABSTRACT Globally,
