Harnessing genomic resources for passion fruit improvement: Progress and prospects

The Plant Genome, Volume 19, Issue 1, March 2026.
Abstract Passion fruit (Passiflora edulis) is a highly nutritious horticultural crop cultivated widely across tropical and subtropical regions. Despite decades of breeding efforts that have led to the release of a few high‐yielding cultivars, on‐farm productivity remains suboptimal, and several existing cultivars are showing signs of declining vigor ...

Acceleration of Atmospheric Freeze‐Drying of Food: Methods, Implications, Commercialization, and Future Directions

Comprehensive Reviews in Food Science and Food Safety, Volume 25, Issue 2, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Atmospheric freeze‐drying (AFD) is an emerging and cost‐effective alternative for drying food and pharmaceutical ingredients, offering lower investment and operational costs compared with vacuum freeze‐drying (VFD). However, industrial adoption is limited due to the significantly longer time required, resulting from consistently lower drying ...

Devouring the Invaders: The Racial‐Ecological Politics of the Chinese Crayfish Trade in Kenya

American Anthropologist, Volume 128, Issue 1, Page 183-194, March 2026.
ABSTRACT This article examines entanglements of ecology, race, and foodways at Lake Naivasha in Kenya. Nonnative Louisiana red swamp crayfish (Procambarus clarkii), first introduced to Kenya in the 1960s, were once viewed as invasive but are now sought after as a delicacy among Kenya's Chinese community.

Spice It Up: The Impact of Spiciness and Arousal on Cultured Meat Consumption

International Journal of Consumer Studies, Volume 50, Issue 2, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Cultured meat is an emerging, sustainable protein source; however, it falls short in several aspects, including perceived naturalness, nutritional value, and sensory appeal. Building upon the theory of benign masochism, the research proposes that the sensory imagery of spicy flavour can heighten emotional arousal and, in turn, drive ...

Effect of Edible Cricket Enriched Complementary Porridge and Nutrition Education on Linear Growth of Children 6–14 Months in Siaya County, Kenya: A Randomized 2 × 2 Factorial Trial

Maternal &Child Nutrition, Volume 22, Issue 1, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Edible crickets are commonly farmed insects containing high‐quality protein and micronutrients. They can potentially replace common animal source protein in complementary food (CF). We evaluated the effect of edible cricket‐enriched CF on linear growth in a 2 × 2 factorial randomized control trial based on Cricket treatment (+/−CR) and ...
