Experimental and Numerical Investigation of the Mechanical Properties of Compression‐Molded Alkali‐Treated Sisal/False Banana Fiber‐Reinforced Polymer Composites

open access: yesEngineering Reports, Volume 8, Issue 7, July 2026.
Alkali‐treated hybrid sisal/false banana fiber‐reinforced polyester composites were fabricated by compression molding and evaluated experimentally and numerically. The 5 wt.% NaOH treatment improved fiber–matrix adhesion, enhancing tensile, flexural, and impact properties.

Enhancing Mechanical and Physical Properties of Jute/JUCO/Glass Fiber Hybrid Composites Through TiO2 and CuO Microparticle Reinforcement

open access: yesSPE Polymers, Volume 7, Issue 3, July 2026.
Symmetrical Jute/JUCO/Glass hybrid epoxy composites were reinforced with TiO2 and CuO microparticles. Incorporating 3 wt.% CuO increased tensile strength by up to 63.7%, while 3 wt.% TiO2 maximized flexural and impact properties alongside superior moisture resistance, demonstrating that these fillers significantly enhance natural fiber biocomposites ...

Texture Engineering of Nondairy Yogurt Alternatives: Ingredient Selection, Processing Strategies, and the Role of In Situ Dextrans

open access: yesComprehensive Reviews in Food Science and Food Safety, Volume 25, Issue 4, July 2026.
ABSTRACT A global shift from diets rich in animal‐based products toward plant‐based diets has been widely promoted as a key strategy for creating more sustainable food systems. However, the adoption of plant‐based alternatives depends on multiple factors, including consumer preferences, sensory quality, product affordability, and availability, in ...

Antioxidants in Plant‐Based Food Matrices: From Structure–Activity and Degradation Kinetics to Formulation Design

open access: yesComprehensive Reviews in Food Science and Food Safety, Volume 25, Issue 4, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Plant‐based antioxidants are widely incorporated into foods to retard oxidative deterioration and to deliver health‐related benefits. Yet, their in‐product and in vivo performance frequently diverges from predictions based on solution‐phase chemical assays, because matrix interactions, processing history, and host metabolism reshape both ...

Occupational Contact Urticaria, Protein Contact Dermatitis and Concomitant Airway Diseases in the Finnish Register of Occupational Diseases in 2005–2020: Main Causes and Occupations at Risk

open access: yesContact Dermatitis, Volume 95, Issue 1, Page 74-85, July 2026.
This Finnish registry study shows that concomitant occupational asthma and rhinitis are common in patients with occupational contact urticaria or protein contact dermatitis, often sharing the same exposure. When evaluating occupational immediate allergy, both skin and airway symptoms should be considered.
