Bio‐inspired nanophotonics: Structural color, chirality, and resonance metasurfaces

InfoMat, EarlyView.
A butterfly‐wing‐inspired anisotropic plasmonic flatband resonant metasurface. Insets, photo of the butterfly, Sasakia charonda, and the SEM image of its wing scale (above); the SEM image of the metasurface (below). Abstract The dazzling colors of butterfly wings and hummingbird feathers are not painted with pigments, but crafted by nature's invisible ...

Transmission Raman Spectroscopy (TRS) for Accurate Authentication of API in Coated Hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) Tablets

Journal of Raman Spectroscopy, EarlyView.
We report the development and use of a transmission Raman spectroscopy (TRS) system for a more accurate but nonintrusive way of authentication of API in coated HCQ tablets which otherwise is not possible using the backscattered (BS) configuration of Raman spectroscopy. The coating interference is found to be almost zero in case of the TRS and a greater

Effect of gamma irradiation and storage days on physicochemical, sensory, and microbial quality of pineapple (Ananas comosus) fresh cut under refrigeration

JSFA reports, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Fresh‐cut pineapple is increasingly consumed for its convenience and nutritional value; however, minimal processing accelerates quality deterioration and microbial growth, resulting in substantial postharvest losses. Gamma irradiation is recognized as a nonthermal preservation technique, but limited information exists regarding its ...

Influence of different drying techniques on the quality and physicochemical properties of Ghana‐sourced turmeric (Curcuma longa L.) samples

JSFA reports, EarlyView.
Abstract Background This study evaluated the influence of four drying techniques—freeze drying (FZD), microwave drying (MCD), oven drying (OVD), and sun drying (SUD)—on the bioactive, nutritional, and physical properties of turmeric. Using standard analytical procedures, the samples were examined for antioxidant activity (DPPH and ABTS assays), total ...

Effects of genotype and environment on the physiochemical properties of Canadian oat varieties

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, Volume 105, Issue 5, Page 3111-3121, 30 March 2025.
Abstract BACKGROUND The relationship between oat grain composition and physical attributes as influenced by oat genotype and Canadian growing environments was investigated. Thirty Canadian oat (Avena sativa L.) genotypes, grown in three Canadian growing locations (Brandon, Manitoba; Portage la Prairie, Manitoba; and Lacombe, Alberta) over 2 consecutive

A novel use of purple tulip petal anthocyanins in pH‐sensitive polyvinyl alcohol films for the real‐time monitoring of shrimp freshness

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND Shrimp is among the most perishable seafood commodities, and its freshness is still largely assessed through time‐consuming laboratory methods. pH‐responsive colorimetric films have received growing attention as they allow visual, real‐time quality monitoring without specialized equipment.

Aberrant birds: five cases of progressive graying in southern brazil

Acta Zoológica Lilloana
The plumage of birds can exhibit various chromatic aberrations, with progressive graying being one example. This condition is characterized by the presence of randomly scattered white feathers, giving the bird a mottled appearance.

Targeted metabolomics reveals the optimal harvest time of Cabernet Sauvignon grapes in an emerging high‐altitude tropical region

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND Climate change has driven the expansion of viticulture in high‐altitude tropical regions. The dynamics of grape ripening and its metabolic profile are influenced by climatic conditions. This study aimed to identify the optimal harvest period for Cabernet Sauvignon grapes cultivated in an emerging Brazilian high‐altitude region using

Preharvest application of antagonistic yeasts for the control of fungal pathogens in organic peach and plum orchards

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND The control of fungal diseases in organic fruit production remains a major challenge due to the limited availability of authorized phytosanitary tools. This study evaluates the efficacy of two antagonistic yeasts – Metschnikowia pulcherrima L672 and Hanseniaspora uvarum L793 – in organic peach (Prunus persica) and plum (Prunus ...
