Effect of in situ amylase and fermented maize starch on texture and after‐cooking storability of lafun dough

JSFA reports, Volume 6, Issue 7, Page 256-264, July 2026.
Abstract Background Lafun is made by fermenting and drying cassava chunks, which are then milled into flour and cooked into dough. Its quality characteristics are variety‐dependent, while it may become too soft or even liquefy during storage, leading to rejection by end‐users.

Characterization of Air and Ozone Micro‐Nano Bubbles and Their Impacts on Physicochemical Attributes, Total Phenolic Content, and Natural Microbial Load of Fresh “Fan Retief” Guava During Storage

Journal of Food Science, Volume 91, Issue 7, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Chlorine‐based water treatment for fresh produce has diverse limitations including the production of disinfectant‐by‐product residue. Thus, this study characterized and investigated the impact of micro‐nano bubble (MNB) water (air and ozone (O3)) on the quality attributes of guava fruit during storage.

Cucumber mosaic virus infecting ‘Cavendish’ banana in Argentina [PDF]

Australasian Plant Disease Notes, 2018
Banana plants (Musa sp.) showing severe mosaic symptoms in leaves were observed in Laguna Naineck, Formosa, Argentina. Electron microscopy observations of leaf dip preparations revealed isometric particles ca. 30 nm in diameter, which were identified as cucumber mosaic virus (CMV) by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) test and reverse ...

Classification Criteria for Cavendish Bananas and a Framework to Indicate the Correct Destination

The 1st International Online Conference on Agriculture—Advances in Agricultural Science and Technology, 2022
The quality guarantee is essential in food supply chains due to the risks involved in the consumption of a spoiled item. At the same time, it ensures the nutritional characteristics of the food. For fruits and vegetables, these requirements need to be even higher since most of them are consumed in raw form.

Gas Chromatography‐Based Methods for Profiling Volatile Off‐Aroma Compounds in Grain Legumes: A Review

Legume Science, Volume 8, Issue 2, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Instrumental characterisation of the volatile organic compounds (VOCs), responsible for off‐aroma, is mainly centred on gas chromatography‐based techniques. Despite previous reviews that have addressed the chemical compounds and biosynthetic pathways of off‐aroma generation, to date, there is a lack of a comprehensive review that critically ...
