Amino Acid‐Enriched Phosphorus Fertilizer Enhances Maize Yield, Phosphorus Uptake, and Phosphorus Use Efficiency

Food and Energy Security, Volume 15, Issue 5, September/October 2026.
ABSTRACT The development of enhanced fertilizers using amino acid‐based biostimulants can help improve fertilizer use efficiency and reduce environmental emissions. However, in the context of phosphorus (P) risk management, the potential physiological mechanisms by which amino acid enhanced P fertilizers affect maize yield and P use efficiency (PUE ...

Effects of Blanching on Phytochemical Retention, Antioxidant Capacity, and Microstructure of Banana Flower (Musa spp., Musaceae)

Food Science &Nutrition, Volume 14, Issue 9, September 2026.
Hot‐water blanching (100°C, 1–5 min), citric acid treatment (1%–5% w/v in water), and microwave blanching (720 W, 30–40 s) were employed to modify the bioactive compounds of banana flowers. Microwave blanching for 40 s yielded the highest amounts of total phenolics (7.60 mg GAE/g), total flavonoids (4.90 mg QE/g), and antioxidant activity.

Quality‐driven reformulation of Plantago ovata enriched non‐fermented beef salami

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, Volume 106, Issue 12, Page 7245-7256, September 2026.
Abstract BACKGROUND Plantago ovata (psyllium) is a hydrocolloid additive that is used widely in foods; however, meat applications of this bioactive ingredient are limited. This study evaluated the effects of 0% to 5% Plantago husk on non‐fermented beef salami during 60 days of storage. Proximate composition, physicochemical properties, texture profile,

Straw Return Combined With Nitrogen Fertilizer Application Improve Nitrogen Utilization Efficiency by Regulating Soil Physical and Chemical Properties in Spring Maize

Land Degradation &Development, Volume 37, Issue 15, Page 11142-11158, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Straw return (SR) and controlled‐release nitrogen fertilizers application can improve soil structure, enhance soil water retention, and promote crop growth. However, the mechanisms through which SR and controlled‐release nitrogen fertilizers application jointly modulate soil physical and chemical properties remain unclear.
