Nutrient composition and heavy metal accumulation in water hyacinth [Eichhornia crassipes (Mart.) Solms] and water lettuce (Pistia stratiotes L.) from the Dande River, Nepal: Implications for use as alternative feed resources

JSFA reports, EarlyView.
Abstract Background The proliferation of invasive aquatic macrophytes poses a significant ecological challenge globally, while many tropical regions face chronic shortages of affordable livestock feed. This study addresses this dual problem by assessing two invasive species, water hyacinth (Eichhornia crassipes) and water lettuce (Pistia stratiotes ...

Nutritional and sensory characteristics of local and hybrid East African Highland cooking bananas: Implications for breeding programs

JSFA reports, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Bananas (Musa species) are an important staple food and cash crop in many parts of the world. The East African Highland cooking bananas form the backbone of food security for millions of Ugandans. The demand for high quality cooking bananas is thus closely linked to their sensory characteristics (which drive consumer preference) and

Synergistic effects of maize defoliation and common bean relay cropping in Western Ethiopia

JSFA reports, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Maize defoliation is practiced to enhance crop management by improving light penetration, nutrient allocation, controlling weeds, and providing supplementary feeds for livestock. A rapid decline in soil fertility and low crop yields associated with maize‐based monocropping has prompted the recent introduction of maize common bean ...

Thin‐layer drying kinetics and mathematical modelling of osmotically pretreated vacuum dried green chilli

JSFA reports, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Chilli is highly perishable, often requiring drying to extend shelf life. This study assesses and compares the drying kinetics of osmotically pretreated green chilli under vacuum drying conditions while evaluating suitable mathematical models and calculating effective moisture diffusivity and activation energy. Results Sliced chilli

Biofertilization of canola seeds with Peribacillus simplex and Paenibacillus polymyxa bacteria increases tocopherol content

JSFA reports, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Biofertilization with plant growth‐promoting bacteria (PGPB) is a reliable strategy to reduce the amounts of chemical fertilizers applied to crops. Nevertheless, the effects of biofertilizers on plant chemical constituents that influence food quality and human health should be evaluated.
