Carotenoid Extraction and Quantification from Capsicum annuum

Bio-Protocol, 2014
Carotenoids are ubiquitous pigments that play key roles in photosynthesis and also accumulate to high levels in fruit and flowers. Specific carotenoids play essential roles in human health as these compounds are precursors for Vitamin A; other specific ...

Salt‐induced nutritional and metabolic shifts in halophytes: implications for food security

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract Plant species vary in their response to salinity: some crops show a degree of salt tolerance, while halophytes – whether wild or cultivated – are characterized by a high capacity to thrive under saline conditions. Halophytes are considered a source of valuable secondary metabolites with potential economic value, yet they might also produce ...

Preharvest supplemental lighting enhances productivity and modulates postharvest quality in hydroponically grown Apulian unripe melon ‘Scopatizzo’ (Cucumis melo L.)

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND Preharvest light management is increasingly used to enhance yield and fruit quality in soilless systems, yet its effects on unripe melon fruits remain poorly understood. This study evaluated the impact of supplemental red–blue light‐emitting diode (LED) lighting applied during cultivation in a closed‐cycle hydroponic system on ...

Joint and Independent Associations of Dietary Antioxidant Intakes With Advanced Stages in Older Patients With Cardiovascular‐Kidney‐Metabolic Syndrome

The Kaohsiung Journal of Medical Sciences, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study explored the association between the composite dietary antioxidant index (CDAI) and cardiovascular‐kidney‐metabolic (CKM) progression in an older population. Using data from NHANES 2001–2020, we analyzed 4974 adults aged ≥ 60 years with CKM syndrome. The CDAI was calculated from the intake of six dietary antioxidants.

A novel approach to estimate non‐algal particle absorption for improved retrieval of pigment concentrations in coastal waters

Limnology and Oceanography: Methods, EarlyView.
Abstract Phytoplankton play a central role in ocean biogeochemistry and understanding their composition and variability is critical for monitoring marine ecosystem dynamics. Continuous spectrophotometric measurements (using a Seabird Sci. AC‐S) along ship tracks enable high‐resolution measurements of particle spectral absorption (apλ$$ {a}_p\left ...

Unveiling the health‐promoting potential of Sudanese sorghum landraces: A legacy rooted in Eastern Sudan, Kassala, and the Red Sea States

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Sorghum is a staple food for hundreds of millions of people in dry regions worldwide, and improving its nutritional quality is vital for global food and health security under climate change. In this study, we evaluated traditional Sudanese sorghum varieties grown in eastern deltas to better understand their natural health‐promoting properties. We found

University teaching of mass spectrometry as a key practical technique within the context of a fully integrated, spiral curriculum

Rapid Communications in Mass Spectrometry, EarlyView.
Rationale Mass spectrometry (MS) is introduced to high school students in the UK in many pre‐university course syllabi. As such, we have identified the use of MS as a key technique that should be taught practically to undergraduates from the outset of their studies.
