Effective acetalization of furfural catalyzed by Fe‐ and Co‐oxalates: impact of alcohols structure on products composition

Biofuels, Bioproducts and Biorefining, Volume 20, Issue 2, Page 703-716, March/April 2026.
Abstract Fe‐, Co‐, and FeCo‐oxalates supported on silica gel (5 wt% metal load) were synthesized, characterized, and tested for the first time in solvent‐free furfural (FF) acetalization with C1–C8 alcohols at 70–170 °C under both conventional and microwave (MW)‐assisted conditions. The interaction of FF with linear C1–C4 alcohols yielded pincer‐shaped

Conserved Gene Order and Adaptive Evolution in Mitochondrial Genomes of Calappa Crabs: Insights Into Ecological Specialization and Phylogenetic Utility

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.
This study presents the first complete mitochondrial genomes of five Calappa species, filling a critical gap in genomic resources for the family Calappidae. Our analyses confirm the monophyly of Calappidae, detect positive selection in key energy metabolism genes (ATP6, ND2, ND5), and reveal conserved gene arrangement patterns.

Impact of Iron (II) Chloride Treatment on the Physical and Metabolic Changes in Mungbean Sprouts

Food Science &Nutrition, Volume 14, Issue 3, March 2026.
FeCl2 treatment darkened the seed coat color of mungbean sprouts without significantly affecting physical traits compared with the control (CK). In contrast, isoflavone aglycone contents were markedly increased, particularly in the seed coat and cotyledon.

Boscisucrophage: A Natural SGLT1/2 Inhibitor From Boscia senegalensis for Managing Type 2 Diabetes

Food Science &Nutrition, Volume 14, Issue 3, March 2026.
Boscisucrophage (BSP) significantly reduced blood glucose and HbA1c, increased urine glucose excretion, and improved functional symptoms in T2DM patients resistant to oral antihyperglycemic drugs. BSP showed no adverse effects on liver or kidney function.

Functionality and Appearance of Sorghum‐Pearl Millet Composite Flour Fortified With Oyster Mushroom for Thin Porridges

Food Science &Nutrition, Volume 14, Issue 3, March 2026.
This study investigated the functionality, color, pasting and rheological properties of sorghum–pearl millet composite flour fortified with oyster mushroom. Fortification increased water, oil and swelling capacities, while decreasing pasting viscosities. The color lightness and yellowness improved with increasing oyster mushroom levels.

Impact of Incidental High Ocean Waves on Topographical Changes in the Adélie Penguin Colony at Edmonson Point on the Northern Victoria Land Coast, Antarctica

New Zealand Journal of Geology and Geophysics, Volume 69, Issue 1, March 2026.
Natural disaster‐driven environmental changes can have both direct and indirect effects on seabird breeding and nesting conditions. Edmonson Point, located on the Victoria Land coast in the Ross Sea, hosts around 3000 pairs of Adélie penguins (Pygoscelis adeliae), divided between coastal and hillside subcolonies differing in topography.
