Mucuna pruriens as a Sustainable Functional Food: Applications From Seed to Product

Modern Agriculture, Volume 4, Issue 2, December 2026.
This review highlights Mucuna pruriens as a nutrient‐rich legume with significant nutritional, therapeutic, and agricultural value. Its protein‐rich seeds contain essential minerals and L‐DOPA, but high antinutritional compounds require effective processing before consumption.

Faecal Microbial and Metabolic Profiles Covary With Dietary Plant Composition in Tibetan Sheep Across Contrasting Grasslands

Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 18, Issue 6, December 2026.
Contrasting alpine meadow and desert steppe environments were associated with coordinated shifts in Tibetan sheep dietary plant composition, faecal bacterial communities and metabolites. Plant‐family composition was more strongly associated with microbial variation than dietary alpha diversity, while major metabolite differences involved flavonoid‐ and

A dual pollination strategy combining perfume attraction and food deception in Galeandra blanchetii E.S. Rand (Orchidaceae)

Plant Biology, Volume 28, Issue 7, Page 2313-2326, December 2026.
Galeandra blanchetii exhibits a dual‐attraction strategy: male euglossine bees are lured by floral scents as a resource, while both sexes are deceived by non‐existent nectar. Pollination only occurs when bees enter the spur to search for nectar, highlighting an evolutionary transition towards the perfume flower syndrome in Catasetinae.

Lipidomics of orchid seeds: from development to storage

Plant Biology, Volume 28, Issue 7, Page 2255-2269, December 2026.
The study tracked lipid changes from pollination to storage in two orchid species. Although both were desiccation‐tolerant and storable, differences in saturated and unsaturated fatty acid proportions during development led to different moisture contents and germination capacities.

All‐Amyloid Functional Coacervates

Advanced Materials, Volume 38, Issue 61, 2 November 2026.
This study introduces an all‐amyloid interfacial complex coacervate technique that employs charge‐mediated or functionalization‐assisted complexation of oppositely charged food protein‐derived amyloid nanofibrils to engineer functional soft constructs across multiple length scales.

Culinary Chemistry as a Platform for Interfacial Materials Design

Advanced Materials Interfaces, Volume 13, Issue 21, 6 November 2026.
Culinary processes control interfaces through heating, shear, gelation, and molecular transport. This Review connects selected gastronomic examples with food‐derived nanomaterials, plasmonic sensing, anthocyanin photovoltaics, and intelligent packaging. Original agar‐based plasmonic films illustrate the proposed translation.

Morinda Officinalis Oligosaccharides Alleviate Post‐Stroke Depression‐Like Behaviors Alongside Increased Gut Microbial Diversity and Butyrate Levels and Reduced Hippocampal Pla2g4a Expression

CNS Neuroscience &Therapeutics, Volume 32, Issue 11, November 2026.
The mechanism by which MOO alleviates PSD in mice involves remodeling the gut microbiota to increase butyrate, thereby repairing the intestinal barrier and the blood–brain barrier. MOO and butyrate downregulate the hippocampal neuroinflammatory target Pla2g4a, while hippocampal overexpression of Pla2g4a counteracts the antidepressant effects of ...
