Development of Reduced‐Fat and Cholesterol‐Free Mayonnaise by Chia Seed Mucilage and Whey Protein: Quality Parameters and Organoleptic Attributes

Food Science &Nutrition, Volume 14, Issue 7, July 2026.
The graphical abstract illustrates the development of a low‐fat, cholesterol‐free mayonnaise formulated using chia seed mucilage and whey protein as functional ingredients. Chia seed mucilage acts as a natural hydrocolloid, enhancing viscosity, water‐holding capacity, and emulsion stability, while whey protein contributes to emulsification and ...

Assessing the evolutionary distinctiveness of a highly threatened plant group: The urgency to preserve a unique lineage of evolution in Brazil

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 4, Page 1223-1237, July 2026.
Brazil's diverse flora is under several threats, with many unique lineages facing extinction, particularly in biodiverse regions like the Cerrado and campo rupestre. This study sheds light on the conservation needs of Cambessedesia (Melastomataceae), an endemic genus with 95% of its species endangered, using an approach to rank and prioritise species ...

A Sequence-Independent Strategy for Amplification and Characterisation of Episomal Badnavirus Sequences Reveals Three Previously Uncharacterised Yam Badnaviruses

Viruses, 2016
Yam (Dioscorea spp.) plants are potentially hosts to a diverse range of badnavirus species (genus Badnavirus, family Caulimoviridae), but their detection is complicated by the existence of integrated badnavirus sequences in some yam genomes.

Effects of natural environmental factors on growth and tuber production of Tacca leontopetaloides (Polynesian arrowroot), an underutilized food crop

Agricultural &Environmental Letters, Volume 11, Issue 1, June 2026.
Tacca's productivity in dry tropical zones increases with rainfall and land cover gradients. Phosphorus (P) content in soil is positively correlated with plant aboveground growth traits (total height, leaf area) and tuber weight of the species, whereas potassium (K) is correlated only with tuber weight.

Hepatocyte growth factor/c‐Met signaling axis in human diseases: Mechanistic insights and therapeutic potential

Journal of Cell Communication and Signaling, Volume 20, Issue 2, June 2026.
Figure 1 visually summarizes the core biological functions and therapeutic potential of the HGF/c‐Met signaling axis. Abstract Hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) is a multifunctional cytokine that activates the tyrosine kinase activity of its specific receptor, c‐Met (mesenchymal–epithelial transition factor).

Funtional Properties of Starch Yam (Dioscorea bulbífera,Dioscorea trífida y Dioscorea esculenta)

Revista Técnica de la Facultad de Ingeniería, 2016
The physicochemical and rheological properties of three yam (D.bulbifera, D.trifida and D.esculenta) species were studied using a completely random with unifactorial arrangement design. The results presented significant differences (p < 0,05) with a water absorption capacity between 134% and 165%, electrical capacity between 100,7 μohms cm-1 and ...
