Plant‐Derived Byproducts for Probiotic Encapsulation: A Composition–Microstructure–Function Review
Plant‐derived byproducts may function as matrix‐active probiotic carriers, but interpretation requires matched comparators, matrix descriptors, and stress‐specific evaluation. ABSTRACT Probiotic delivery in foods is limited by viability losses during processing, storage, and gastrointestinal (GI) transit.

Microbiome‐mediated chemical communication in insects: Implications for pest management
Microbiome–semiochemical interactions involve the following processes: direct microbial synthesis, host gene regulation, precursor biotransformation, microbiome modulation and indirect ecological signaling. Abstract Insects rely on semiochemicals to regulate aggregation, mating, foraging, and host selection. This review synthesizes evidence that insect‐
