Economic approaches to measuring labor exploitation in agriculture: A systematic literature review of indicators and methodologies

open access: yesJournal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract Agriculture remains highly vulnerable to labor exploitation, affecting almost two million workers worldwide and drawing increasing attention, particularly within the framework of Sustainable Development Goal 8 of the United Nations 2030 Agenda. However, the informal nature of exploitation and fragmented data complicate its analysis.

Preharvest supplemental lighting enhances productivity and modulates postharvest quality in hydroponically grown Apulian unripe melon ‘Scopatizzo’ (Cucumis melo L.)

open access: yesJournal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND Preharvest light management is increasingly used to enhance yield and fruit quality in soilless systems, yet its effects on unripe melon fruits remain poorly understood. This study evaluated the impact of supplemental red–blue light‐emitting diode (LED) lighting applied during cultivation in a closed‐cycle hydroponic system on ...

Phenotypic, physicochemical, sensory, and functional attributes of cocoa (Theobroma cacao L.) from Brazilian Amazonian floodplain and upland ecosystems

open access: yesJournal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND Cocoa (Theobroma cacao L.) from the Brazilian Amazon plays an important role in national production. While most cocoa is cultivated in upland systems, floodplain ecosystems represent a traditional and distinct production environment that may influence bean composition and quality.

Bio‐guided fractionation of (9Z)‐5,8,11‐trihydroxyoctadec‐9‐enoic acid from Abelmoschus sagittifolius root as a potent α‐glucosidase inhibitor: An integrated in vitro and in silico study

open access: yesJournal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND Abelmoschus sagittifolius stands out as a valuable medicinal source for developing functional food targeting type 2 diabetes. This study investigated the α‐glucosidase inhibitory potential of an active fraction obtained from A. sagittifolius roots (ASR), enriched in (9Z)‐5,8,11‐trihydroxyoctadec‐9‐enoic acid (OA), using both enzyme ...

Physicochemical properties, fermentative profile, microbiological quality, and pathogen contamination of baled silage during long‐term storage

open access: yesJournal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND Baled silage is expanding in Mediterranean regions due to climate change and demand for high‐quality forage; therefore, evaluating the effects of long‐term storage on microbiological and fermentative quality is essential. RESULTS In this study, 115 baled silages were sampled from different farms at 30, 60, 90, 180, and 270 days ...
