Pulsed Light Technology in Food Safety and Preservation: Principles, Applications, and Future Directions

Food Chemistry International, EarlyView.
Pulsed light technology uses short high‐intensity broad‐spectrum flashes (200–1100 nm) to inactivate microbes via DNA damage. It preserves food quality, extends shelf life, and works on liquids, meats, and produce, often combined with other hurdles for enhanced efficacy.

Enhancing the nutritional profile of de‐oiled rice bran through solid‐state fermentation with Aspergillus oryzae

Food Biomacromolecules, EarlyView.
Abstract An experiment was conducted to explore the impact of fermenting de‐oiled rice bran (DORB) with Aspergillus oryzae on its nutrient composition and anti‐nutritional factors. DORB was inoculated with 7‐day‐old A. oryzae culture grown on potato dextrose agar. The experiment was conducted in triplicate for 120 h, with samples collected at 0, 24, 48,

Infectious particle identity determines dissemination and disease outcome for the inhaled human fungal pathogen Cryptococcus.

PLoS Pathogens, 2019
The majority of invasive human fungal pathogens gain access to their human hosts via the inhalation of spores from the environment into the lung, but relatively little is known about this infectious process. Among human fungal pathogens the most frequent

Bioactive compounds in insects—Composition, extraction, functionality, food applications, and safety concerns

Food Biomacromolecules, EarlyView.
This review synthesizes 94 studies (2000–2025) exploring edible insects as sustainable sources of peptides, lipids, and chitin. Utilizing “green” extraction, these bioactives offer antioxidant and antimicrobial benefits for functional foods. However, addressing safety concerns like allergenicity and heavy metals through standardized frameworks remains ...

Asthma and the Diversity of Fungal Spores in Air

PLoS Pathogens, 2013
The diversity of fungal spores in air is vast ([1], [2], Figure 1), but research on asthma focuses on a handful of easily identified, culturable species. Ecologists are developing new tools to probe communities and identify the full complement of fungi in habitats.

Chemistry Underlying the Behavior of Food and Agricultural Components During Industrial Manufacturing Processes and Its Implications in Quality Assurance, Food Quality, and Food Safety Management: A Systematic Review

Food Safety and Health, EarlyView.
Industrial manufacturing processes have transformative effects on the components of food matrix. These transformations in food matrix and components have direct implications for quality assurance (QA), food quality (e.g., nutritional profile and texture), and food safety management (e.g., pathogen control and toxin mitigation). ABSTRACT This systematic

Optimization of moisture content and application rate of hay preservative during high‐moisture alfalfa hay baling in northwestern China

Grassland Research, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Leaf shatter during low‐moisture baling and mold proliferation under high‐moisture conditions pose major challenges in alfalfa hay production. A proprietary propionic acid‐based hay preservative product, LZP, effectively inhibits microbial reproduction in high‐moisture alfalfa bales; however, its optimal moisture thresholds and ...
