Electrospun encapsulation of grape pomace extract: in vitro antioxidant, anti‐inflammatory, and antihyperglycemic properties

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, Volume 106, Issue 7, Page 4247-4255, May 2026.
Abstract BACKGROUND The escalating prevalence of lifestyle‐ and aged‐related conditions, including diabetes, chronic inflammation, and cardiovascular disorders, underscores the urgent need for natural therapies. Such alternatives should offer reduced side effects compared to conventional pharmaceuticals while playing a proactive role in disease ...

Near-Infrared Spectroscopy and Chemometrics for the Routine Detection of Bilberry Extract Adulteration and Quantitative Determination of the Anthocyanins

Journal of Spectroscopy, 2018
Consumers must be assured that bought food supplements contain both bilberry extract and the anthocyanin amounts that match the declared levels. Therefore, a Fourier transform near-infrared (FT-NIR) spectroscopic method was validated based on principal ...

Inorganic Nitrate Enhances Cloud Activation of Less Hygroscopic Aerosols at a Coastal Site in California

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 7, 16 April 2026.
Abstract Anthropogenic aerosols influence marine cloud properties in coastal regions, but their impacts remain poorly understood due to the complexity of sources and aerosol‐cloud interactions. To investigate how cloud processing affects aerosol composition, in situ measurements of aerosol properties were performed at Mt. Soledad in La Jolla, CA (251 m

Forest floor vegetation in Sweden [PDF]

, 2012
In boreal forests, dwarf-shrubs (Vaccinium spp.) often dominate the forest floor and are key-stone species in ecosystems due to their importance for nutrient cycling and as a major food source for herbivores. Forestry affects the vegetation both directly

Using high‐resolution imagery to map Scots pine regeneration in the Scottish uplands

Ecological Solutions and Evidence, Volume 7, Issue 2, April/June 2026.
This study utilizes high‐resolution imagery to map over 90,000 naturally regenerating Scots pines across a 3360‐ha area in the Scottish Uplands. Our approach demonstrates that remote sensing can accurately quantify landscape‐scale forest expansion, identifying nearly 85% of saplings over 2 m tall.

Probiotic fruit beverages with different polyphenol profiles attenuated early insulin response

Nutrition Journal, 2018
Background Consumption of polyphenol-rich fruits and vegetables may improve postprandial glucose and insulin levels and hence promote well-being. Previously it has been observed that consumption of bilberry decreases the postprandial insulin demand.
