Caenorhabditis elegans and Drosophila melanogaster as Model Organisms in Biofactor Research

BioFactors, Volume 52, Issue 4, July/August 2026.
This review presents Caenorhabditis elegans and Drosophila melanogaster as powerful and ethically sound invertebrate model organisms that can be used to investigate nutritional science questions relating to biofactors. Such nutritional phenotyping studies can bridge the gap between in vitro studies and in vivo research in mammals.

Comparison of Different Fruit Shapes of Lanxangia tsaoko: Differences and Relevance of Phenotypes, Antioxidant Activities, and Physicochemical Information

Food Science &Nutrition, Volume 14, Issue 7, July 2026.
This study selected three fruit types of LT, including PCS, ES, and LFS. We examined the phenotypes and physicochemical components, volatile substances, non‐volatile substances, and FT‐NIRS characteristics of the three fruit types. Based on FT‐NIRS, an SVM model was established for the rapid identification of LT fruit types.

Nutritional and Compositional Profile of Hypsizygus ulmarius Fruiting Bodies as Affected by Spent Tea Leaves and Spent Coffee Grounds Supplementation

Food Science &Nutrition, Volume 14, Issue 7, July 2026.
Supplementation of wheat‐straw substrates with 10%–30% spent tea leaves (STL) or spent coffee grounds (SCG) produced residue‐specific changes in the composition of Hypsizygus ulmarius fruiting bodies. STL supplementation was associated with increased protein, total amino acid content, and CUPRAC values, whereas SCG supplementation was associated with ...
