NIRS Coupled With Machine Learning Algorithms for the Authentication and Quality Assessment of Indigenous Cattle and Buffalo Meat

eFood, Volume 7, Issue 5, October 2026.
Portable NIRS combined with machine learning enabled rapid and accurate authentication of cattle and buffalo meat. Optimized models (XGBoost, CNN) achieved > 98% accuracy, while SHAP revealed key spectral regions. This dual approach offers a field‐ready, reagent‐free tool for fraud prevention and traceability. ABSTRACT Ensuring the authenticity of high‐

Enhancing the Shelf Life and Microbial Safety of Refrigerated Eggs Using Edible Coatings of Aloe Vera Gel Combined With Fennel and Lime Peel Essential Oils

Food Science &Nutrition, Volume 14, Issue 10, October 2026.
This study investigated the effectiveness of an edible coating based on aloe vera gel (100%) combined with fennel and lime peel essential oils for improving the quality and microbial safety of refrigerated eggs. During refrigerated storage, application of the coating reduced egg weight loss, helped maintain a higher Haugh unit, moderated changes in ...

Domesticated bacterial origin genes regulate homeostasis of the insect gut microbiome and empower adaptation

iMeta, Volume 5, Issue 5, October 2026.
Horizontal gene transfer introduced bacterial CDC genes into the leafhopper genome, providing genetic material for subsequent evolutionary innovation. Different CDC copies diversified at the sequence, structural, and functional levels. RdCDC3 retained its ancestral pore‐forming activity and was recruited for egg defense, whereas RdCDC9 lost its ...

Experimental and field evidence indicate that islet‐nesting tundra birds experience reduced nest predation and benefit indirectly from high snow goose densities

Oikos, Volume 2026, Issue 10, October 2026.
Landscape features can shape the occurrence and strength of predator–prey interactions by influencing predation risk and prey distribution. In the High Arctic, some bird species select nesting sites with physical features that impede access for their main terrestrial predator, the Arctic fox.

Genetics and breeding of a black-bone and blue eggshell chicken line. 4. Responses to 3 cycles of selection for blue or green eggshell

Poultry Science
Considerable demand exists for blue and green eggs, especially in Southeast Asia. Although some chicken breeds lay eggs with shell colors ranging from light blue to dark green (olive), genetic lines producing uniform blue eggs or green eggs are preferred

The location of protoporphyrin in the eggshell of brown-shelled eggs

, 2016
Protoporphyrin has been identified as the main eggshell pigment in brown-shelled eggs. However, there has been some uncertainty concerning the distribution of the pigment within the shell (and cuticle) in brown-shelled eggs.
