Engineering a Hybrid Heme Pathway for Hemoprotein‐Based Dye‐Decolorizing Peroxidase in Escherichia coli

Food Bioengineering, Volume 5, Issue 2, Page 209-219, June 2026.
In this study, the heme content and enzymatic activity of the RhDypB mutant strain RhDypB‐R80 were enhanced through optimized heme uptake and pathway integration. This engineered host presents a promising platform for hemoprotein engineering and holds potential for applications in controlling mycotoxin contamination in food products.

Litsea cubeba Essential Oil Reduces Postharvest Blueberry Rot by Inducing Cell Membrane Damage and Reactive Oxygen Species Accumulation in Alternaria alternata

Future Postharvest and Food, Volume 3, Issue 2, Page 220-233, June 2026.
Litsea cubeba essential oil (LCEO) reduces blueberry rot while maintaining quality. It disrupts the cellular structure and membranes of Alternaria alternata, causing solute leakage, while simultaneously inducing reactive oxygen species (ROS) accumulation and mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP) damage in the pathogen.

Comparative Effects of Organic and Mineral Calcium Sources on Yield, Nutritional Quality, and Postharvest Storage of Aubergine (Solanum melongena L.)

Food Science &Nutrition, Volume 14, Issue 6, June 2026.
We assessed the comparative effects of applying organic and mineral calcium sources on aubergine production, quality, and storage. Analysis of yield parameters, nutritional quality of fruits at harvest and fruits physical quality during storage showed that the use of eggshell and beef bone powders as calcium sources can improve aubergine fruit ...

Functionally complementary bacterial inoculant coordinates arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi to improve Angelica sinensis root yield and quality

iMetaOmics, Volume 3, Issue 2, June 2026.
Comprehensive understanding of how diverse PGPR strains enhance the rhizosphere microenvironment remains a considerable challenge. Here, we provide experimental evidence that a functionally synergistic composite microbial formulation can markedly enhance growth performance and improve the quality attributes in Angelica sinensis.

Soybean seed coat properties as determinants of natto and sprout quality

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, Volume 106, Issue 8, Page 4994-5011, June 2026.
Abstract BACKGROUND Improving breeding efficiency for superior soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merr.) germplasm used in natto and sprouts requires understanding how seed coat properties relate to quality and functional traits. METHODS We measured seed weight, water uptake, and sprout length and thickness across various genotypes tested at different locations

The Challenges of Domestic Wastewater/Sewage Systems for Māori Communities

Kōtuitui: New Zealand Journal of Social Sciences Online, Volume 21, Issue 2, June 2026.
The development of domestic wastewater systems in contemporary Aotearoa New Zealand has presented a significant challenge for Māori communities. While those communities have supported attempts to address the pollution of land and waterways through modern treatment methods, the solution has included continuing discharges of sometimes untreated and often

Identification and Functional Characterization of Isoflavone synthase Gene Family in Pea (Pisum sativum): The Entry Point to Pisatin Biosynthesis

Legume Science, Volume 8, Issue 2, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Isoflavone synthase (IFS), a cytochrome P450 monooxygenase of the CYP93C subfamily, catalyzes the conversion of flavanones into isoflavones, the first committed step in the biosynthesis of isoflavonoid phytoalexins. In pea (Pisum sativum L.), the phytoalexin pisatin plays a pivotal role in defense against pathogens.

Modulation of Pectin Film Properties via Various Solid Lipid Nanoparticles Formulations: Water Barrier and Mechanical Insights

Polymers for Advanced Technologies, Volume 37, Issue 6, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Despite pectin‐based films have been intensively studied as an alternative to plastic, their poor moisture barrier and mechanical properties remain challenging for researchers and industry. This study investigated the influence of four various solid lipid nanoparticles (SLN) formulations on pectin films.
