Zinc Oxide Nanoparticles for Food Applications: From Synthesis and Functional Properties to Safety and Sustainability

Food Frontiers, Volume 7, Issue 4, July 2026.
Green and conventional synthesis routes produce ZnO nanoparticles with tunable physicochemical properties for food applications, ZnO‐NPs enhance antimicrobial activity, UV protection, and food preservation through ROS generation and ZN2+ release. However, particle dissolution, migration, cytotoxicity, and environmental concerns highlight the need for ...

Nitrogen release characteristics from biosolids-derived organomineral fertilizers [PDF]

, 2014
This study investigated the availability of nitrogen (N) following soil application of a novel biosolids-derived organomineral fertilizer (OMF15—15:4:4) in comparison with urea (46% N). OMF15 is produced by coating biosolids granules (particle size range:

Surface water quality impacts from organic versus conventional agricultural systems

Journal of Environmental Quality, Volume 55, Issue 4, July/August 2026.
Abstract Agriculture is integrally intertwined with water, yet we have little information about how the different approaches to growing food influence water quality. Food production through different strategies is driven by economic and environmental concerns. Organic agriculture has increased for several decades and is projected to continue.

Potential Regrowth and Recolonization of Salmonellae and Indicators in Biosolids and Biosolid-Amended Soil [PDF]

Applied and Environmental Microbiology, 2005
ABSTRACT This study evaluated the potential for conversion of Class B to Class A biosolids with respect to salmonellae and fecal coliforms during solar drying in concrete lined drying beds. Anaerobically (8% solids) and aerobically (2% solids) digested Class B biosolids were pumped into field-scale drying beds, and microbial populations and ...

Environmental Transformation and Trophic Transfer of Engineered Nanomaterials in the Agri‐Food Chain and Implications for human Health

ChemFoodChem, Volume 2, Issue 2, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Engineered nanomaterials (ENMs) are increasingly applied in agriculture to improve crop yield, nutrient efficiency, and food quality. This study examines the environmental transformation of ENMs, their uptake in plants, and their transfer across the agri‐food chain leading to human exposure.

Plastics in biosolids from 1950 to 2016: A function of global plastic production and consumption [PDF]

, 2021
Plastics are ubiquitous contaminants that leak into the environment from multiple pathways including the use of treated sewage sludge (biosolids). Seven common plastics (polymers) were quantified in the solid fraction of archived biosolids samples from ...

Clostridioides difficile as a Zoonotic and Foodborne Pathogen: Reviewing the Global Evidence and South African Data

MicrobiologyOpen, Volume 15, Issue 3, June 2026.
Clostridioides difficile infections are increasingly problematic in areas with already burdened healthcare systems. From a One‐Health perspective, a lack of surveillance in developing countries greatly contributes to the limited information available on the zoonotic and foodborne potential of C. difficile.
