Texture Engineering of Nondairy Yogurt Alternatives: Ingredient Selection, Processing Strategies, and the Role of In Situ Dextrans

Comprehensive Reviews in Food Science and Food Safety, Volume 25, Issue 4, July 2026.
ABSTRACT A global shift from diets rich in animal‐based products toward plant‐based diets has been widely promoted as a key strategy for creating more sustainable food systems. However, the adoption of plant‐based alternatives depends on multiple factors, including consumer preferences, sensory quality, product affordability, and availability, in ...

Hierarchical Modeling of Archaeological and Modern Flax Fiber: From Micro- to Macroscale

Fibers
Flax fiber reinforcements weaken with aging and microstructural changes, limiting their applications. Here, we examine the effects of microstructure and aging on flax fiber elements’ performance by using 4000-year-old and modern Egyptian flax as ...

Kinetic, products and shrinkage for the pyrolysis of flax fibers

Journal of Analytical and Applied Pyrolysis
Biomass pyrolysis is a thermochemical process used for renewable products and energies. However, there are still issues that need to be addressed for process modeling and optimization. This study focuses on the relationship between heating rate, shrinkage, and products from flax fibers using thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), microscopic observation ...

Mechanical, Thermal, and Microstructural Evaluation of Bio‐Based Polyurethane Composites Reinforced With Woven Jute and Flax

Polymer Composites, Volume 47, Issue S2, Page S318-S335, 20 June 2026.
Graphical overview of the manufacturing and characterization of bio‐based polyurethane composites reinforced with woven jute and flax fibers produced by the VARTM process. Mechanical, thermal, and microstructural analyses reveal differences in stiffness, thermal stability, and interfacial behavior between the natural fiber composites.

The Role of Cold Atmospheric Plasma in Surface Modification and Adhesion Behavior of Polypropylene/Flax Biocomposites

Polymer Composites, Volume 47, Issue 12, Page 11187-11199, 20 June 2026.
Effects of plasma surface treatment on adhesive bonding of PP/flax biocomposites. ABSTRACT The emphasis on environmental sustainability has accelerated the adoption of biocomposites as alternatives to synthetic composites. However, their low surface energy may limit adhesion in bonding applications.

Fiber tools: flax distaff

, 2009
This is a modern example of a very old fiber tool called a flax distaff. There are many variations on distaffs, but they all sit upright beside a spinning wheel to hold the flax fibers waiting to be spun.
