ACE‐inhibitory peptide Leu‐Tyr‐Ala in skeletal muscle actin exhibits anti‐aging effects through the inhibition of acn‐1 in Caenorhabditis elegans

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND Inhibitors of angiotensin‐converting enzyme (ACE) are used in pharmaceuticals and functional foods. Captopril, a well‐known ACE inhibitor, extends the lifespan of the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans. Bioactive peptides derived from food sources are considered safe ACE inhibitors.

Turmeric essential oil‐loaded wheat starch cryogels as superabsorbent pads for active packaging of fish fillets

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND This study aimed to create a cryogel with water‐absorbing and antioxidant properties. Wheat starch (10%, w/v) was used to produce cryogels, which were then incorporated with turmeric essential oil (TEO) at two concentrations: 20% and 30% (w/w of starch).

Greater future range expansions in alien than native ant species

Oikos, EarlyView.
There is growing concern that many species may not be able to track suitable conditions under climate change and suffer range contractions as a result. At the same time, alien species introduced to novel geographic ranges are often assumed to benefit from climate change.

Habitat fragmentation and amount drive within‐species variation in dispersal kernels and limit transferability across landscapes

Oikos, EarlyView.
Dispersal is a key ecological trait that ensures connectivity, gene flow, and range dynamics, yet empirical information about how dispersal distances vary within species remains scarce. Many studies, investigating for instance connectivity conservation, use typical species‐specific dispersal kernels without accounting for the fact that these kernels ...

The importance of wild meat and freshwater fish for children's nutritional intake in the Congo Basin

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Wild meat and freshwater fish are widely consumed in the Congo Basin, but in some areas, they are at risk of disappearing due to unsustainable hunting and fishing and changes in their habitat. Wild meat is also at risk of being eliminated from local diets due to potential policy changes such as wild meat bans.

How uneven access shapes the socio‐economic and environmental potential of game meat value chains: The case of legal game meat in Zambia

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Game meat contributes to human nutrition, food security and sociocultural practices around the world. Game meat also comes with risks, including overharvesting and zoonotic and food‐borne disease. These may be pronounced where game meat travels along complex value chains from rural to urban areas.

Quantifying meat spoilage with an array of biochemical indicators [PDF]

, 2010
Freshness and safety of muscle foods are generally considered as the most important parameters for the food industry. It is crucial to validate and establish new rapid methods for the accurate detection of microbial spoilage of meats.
