Bioactive compounds in insects—Composition, extraction, functionality, food applications, and safety concerns

Food Biomacromolecules, EarlyView.
This review synthesizes 94 studies (2000–2025) exploring edible insects as sustainable sources of peptides, lipids, and chitin. Utilizing “green” extraction, these bioactives offer antioxidant and antimicrobial benefits for functional foods. However, addressing safety concerns like allergenicity and heavy metals through standardized frameworks remains ...

Selective acylation of chitosan oligomers by several cyclic anhydrides as a 13C NMR quantification method

Carbohydrate Polymer Technologies and Applications
The chemistry of chitosan is a promising way to afford biobased and biodegradable complex materials using highly reactive compounds such as anhydrides. However, the potential applications are limited due to the absence of control over the acylation and ...

The plant microbiome: From ecological foundations to precision microbial engineering for sustainable agriculture

iMeta, EarlyView.
From ecological principles to precision engineering of plant microbiomes for sustainable agriculture. The plant holobiont integrates diverse microbial niches (including rhizosphere, endosphere, phyllosphere, seed, and aerial‐root mucilagesphere), host genetics (namely M genes), and host metabolites. Furthermore, molecular dialogues, including rhizobial

CNGCs in Marchantia paleacea uncouple arbuscular mycorrhizal symbiosis and rhizoid development

New Phytologist, Volume 251, Issue 4, Page 2027-2040, August 2026.
Rhizoid growth and AM fungal infection are uncoupled. Summary In Marchantia paleacea, MpaDMI1‐dependent nuclear Ca2+ oscillations are essential for arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungal colonisation, indicating that endosymbiosis‐mediated nuclear Ca2+ signalling is a conserved feature of land plant–AM symbiosis.

Effect of Chitooligosaccharides‐Combination Fortified Noodles Intervention on Visceral Adiposity and Serum Metabolites in a High‐Risk Occupational Cohort of Young Seafarers

Food Science &Nutrition, Volume 14, Issue 7, July 2026.
In a 4‐week self‐controlled trial of 73 young seafarers, consumption of chitooligosaccharides‐combination fortified noodles every other day significantly reduced visceral fat area, waist circumference, serum leptin, and LDL‐C, and elevated skeletal muscle index, without altering body weight.
