Rapid Identification of Edible Insect Species in Food Using MALDI‐TOF Mass Spectrometry

Rapid Communications in Mass Spectrometry, Volume 40, Issue 13, 15 July 2026.
ABSTRACT Rationale Edible insects are emerging as sustainable, nutritious ‘foods of the future’ and are gradually introduced to the European market as novel foods. Ensuring consumer safety and preventing fraud requires legal regulation, which in turn depends on reliable analytical methods.

Advanced Terahertz Sensing of Liquid Petrochemicals: Pentagonal‐Core Photonic Crystal Fiber Design and Performance

Advanced Photonics Research, Volume 7, Issue 7, July 2026.
A hybrid‐structured pentagonal‐core photonic crystal fiber sensor operating in the terahertz regime is proposed for fuel adulteration detection. Numerical analysis using the finite element method in COMSOL shows optimal performance at 2 THz, achieving high relative sensitivity (up to 98.20%) with ultralow confinement loss (~10−¹³ dB/m). The design also

Measuring Consumer Aversion Toward AI in Marketing Communication and Assessing Its Relationship to Brand Perceptions and Purchase Intention

Journal of Consumer Behaviour, Volume 25, Issue 4, Page 2193-2220, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Some consumers exhibit aversion toward artificial intelligence (AI), particularly when it is embedded in persuasive marketing communication (MarCom). Here, we developed and validated a measure of consumer aversion to AI in MarCom and examined its downstream consequences for brand perceptions and purchase intention.

Characterization of Physicochemical Properties, Volatile Compounds, and Sensory Attributes of Tonto, a Traditional Ugandan Banana‐Based Alcoholic Beverage

Food Science &Nutrition, Volume 14, Issue 7, July 2026.
Traditional Ugandan Tonto is produced through the spontaneous fermentation of banana juice and roasted sorghum. Fermentation decreased pH and total soluble solids while increasing ethanol and titratable acidity. A total of 38 volatile compounds were identified, with esters contributing characteristic fruity and banana‐like aromas.

Regulated versus unregulated competition: How drug shortages boost illegal pharmacy sales

Strategic Management Journal, Volume 47, Issue 7, Page 1811-1839, July 2026.
Abstract Research Summary This study examines how product shortages among legal firms create competitive opportunities for illegal firms. We analyze 713 drug shortages in the United States between 2017 and 2023 and show that shortages substantially increase illicit pharmacies’ sales of affected drugs, which rise by 40.5% during shortages and remain 32 ...
