Climate and seed mass drive intraspecific variation in seed longevity in storage

American Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise Conservation seed banks are essential for ex situ plant conservation, but stored seeds slowly deteriorate and lose viability. Seed longevity in storage is determined by the initial seed viability and the rate of seed viability loss. The rate of seed viability loss in storage varies between species and possibly between populations or ...

Grain legumes and human health [PDF]

, 2009
Since early civilisation in different continents, grain legumes have been a part of balanced diets together with cereals. In general the seeds from those two plant families give together a good source of essential amino acids and may have given an ...

Aquafaba (Chickpea Cooking Water) as a Natural Emulsifier in the Development of Plant‐Based Coffee Whitener

Journal of the American Oil Chemists' Society, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In this study, the possibility of using aquafaba powder, derived from chickpea cooking water, as a natural emulsifier in the formulation of plant‐based coffee whitener was evaluated. For this purpose, coffee whiteners, which are emulsion type products, are obtained by high‐shear mixing followed by high‐pressure homogenization of the aqueous ...

Effects of Replacing Alfalfa Hay With Barley Silage in High‐Concentrate Diets: Chewing Behavior, Ruminal Fermentation, Total‐Tract Digestibility, and Milk Production of Dairy Cows in Mid‐Lactation Phase

Animal Research and One Health, EarlyView.
We assessed lactation productivity in dairy cows when replacing alfalfa hay with barley silage. A 50% replacement increased feed intake, whereas total replacement improved nutrient conversion to milk. Barley silage can effectively replace alfalfa hay, enhancing sustainability and resilience in dairy production amid forage quality constraints and market

Review of key causes and sources for N2O emmisions and NO3-leaching from organic arable crop rotations [PDF]

, 2018
. The emissions of nitrous oxide (N2O) and leaching of nitrate (NO3) have considerable negative impacts on climate and the environment. Although these environmental burdens are on average less per unit area in organic than in non-organic production, they

Towards Replacing the “Great Antifungal Wall”: Exploiting Synergies Between Sourdough Fermentation Protocols, Antifungal Plant Ingredients, and Contamination Control to Extend the Mold‐Free Shelf‐Life of Bread

Cereal Chemistry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background “Clean label” antifungal ingredients and fermentation protocols are a promising strategy to meet shelf‐life requirements in the bread industry. Objectives This study evaluated the mold‐free shelf‐life of bread formulations incorporating sourdough combined with antifungal ingredients or additives.
