Tropical Plantains, Tubers, and Roots: Advancing Food Quality, Safety, and Processing Innovations for Global Nutritional Equity

Food Science &Nutrition, Volume 14, Issue 11, November 2026.
Plantains, tubers, and roots (PTRs) represent strategic nutritional and caloric pillars for over 500 million people across tropical regions. This review evaluates traditional bioprocessing against eco‐innovative thermomechanical and non‐thermal technologies (HPP, extrusion, encapsulation) to overcome severe post‐harvest losses and antinutritional risks.

Effect of the addition of yacon flour (Smallanthus sonchifolius) and freezing on baking performance

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, Volume 106, Issue 14, Page 8391-8401, November 2026.
Abstract BACKGROUND Yacon (Smallanthus sonchifolius), a tuber rich in fructans, presents potential for application in breadmaking due to its nutritional properties and cryoprotectant activity. The aim of this study was to evaluate the incorporation of yacon flour in bread formulations (50 g/kg and 100 g/kg on flour mixture basis) and its impact on ...

Past, present and future of local crop evolution

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 6, Page 1989-2004, November 2026.
Promoting agrobiodiversity is a promising strategy for mitigating the negative effects of climate change on global food security. We highlight the central role evolutionary processes play in harnessing the potential of local crops by integrating genomics, archaeology, ethnobotany and traditional ecological knowledge (TEK).
