Soil Type Controls the Effects of the Nitrification Inhibitor DMPP on Nitrate Leaching and Mineral N Retention Under Simulated Heavy Rainfall

Journal of Plant Nutrition and Soil Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Nitrate (NO3−) leaching is a major nitrogen (N) loss pathway in agriculture and may increase with more frequent heavy rainfall. Nitrification inhibitors, such as 3,4‐dimethylpyrazole phosphate (DMPP), can reduce these losses, but their effectiveness under frequent heavy rainfall events remains unclear, which limits their targeted ...

Plant Availability of Phosphorus From Sewage Sludge Ash‐Based Fertilizers and Its Relationship to Phosphorus Extractability

Journal of Plant Nutrition and Soil Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Sewage sludge ash (SSA) is a potential phosphorus (P) source for fertilizers, but untreated SSA (USSA) often shows low plant availability of P. To increase P availability, sodium additives can be applied before sewage sludge incineration or during thermochemical SSA posttreatment, as this leads to the formation of CaNaPO4.

Impact of cold plasma pretreatment and hybrid infrared—hot air drying on bioactive compounds, antioxidant activity, colorimetric attributes, and texture of red beet

JSFA reports, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Drying is essential for food preservation, yet conventional methods often compromise product quality. This study investigated the effects of cold plasma pretreatment time (0, 15, and 30 s) and an intermittent infrared‐hot air hybrid dryer (300, 600, and 900 W; pulse ratios 1 and 2) on the functional and quality attributes of dried ...

Curly protein nanofibril systems for improving thermal stability and copigmentation of hibiscus anthocyanins

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND Anthocyanins are attractive natural colorants for clean‐label food applications; however, their widespread use is limited by poor thermal stability. Protein nanofibrils have recently emerged as promising natural stabilizers because of their high surface area and ability to interact with anthocyanins through non‐covalent interactions.
