Multifunctional Properties of Wintergreen (Gaultheria procumbens) Essential Oil: Antimicrobial, Antibiofilm, and Insecticidal Effects

Flavour and Fragrance Journal, EarlyView.
Unveiling the potential of Wintergreen (Gaultheria procumbens) essential oil. ABSTRACT This study investigated the antimicrobial, antibiofilm, and insecticidal properties of wintergreen (Gaultheria procumbens L.) essential oil (GPEO). The EO was chemically characterized by GC–MS, confirming methyl salicylate as the predominant compound (99.3%).

Intercropping cereals and grain legumes: a farmer’s perspective [PDF]

, 2006
Intercropping cereals and grain legumes show potential for organic agriculture in many ways. However, the use of land equivalent ratio (LER) as a measure for calculating the cropping advantage of intercrops over sole crops is too simple: neglecting weed ...

Dietary and biomarker‐guided strategies as supportive measures in the fragile X syndrome

Food Biomacromolecules, EarlyView.
Abstract The fragile X syndrome (FXS) is an inherited neurodevelopmental disorder that primarily affects males, often resulting in an IQ below 55, while about two‐thirds of females also experience intellectual disability. Physical features may include an elongated face, prominent ears, finger joint laxity, and enlarged testes in males.

Functional and physicochemical properties of proteins isolated from four different pulses

Food Biomacromolecules, EarlyView.
Proteins from four pulses viz. pinto bean, cow pea, pigeon pea, and navy bean were isolated and characterized. Pinto bean protein showed the highest oil absorption capacity and solubility. Pinto bean protein exhibited the highest emulsion capacity and foaming capacity. Cow pea protein showed the highest in vitro protein digestibility.

Do cover crops modify the structure of soil nematodes under banana fields? [PDF]

, 2011
The introduction of cover crops in banana fields develops in Martinique within the context of more sustainable cropping systems. To assess changes in nematode communities, we compared the use of living mulch of grass (Paspalum notatum) and legumes ...

Comparison of physicochemical, rheological, and digestibility properties of starch isolated from plantain (Musa paradisiaca) using different methods

Food Biomacromolecules, EarlyView.
Abstract The present work aimed to evaluate the effect of different isolation methods (distilled water, sodium hydroxide, and potassium metabisulfite) on the properties of plantain starch and compared with flour. It was hypothesized that chemical steeping enhanced yield, techno‐functional properties, and resistant starch without disrupting native ...

Input of nitrogen from N2 fixation to northern grasslands [PDF]

, 2005
Forage legumes form N2-fixing symbioses with rhizobia and may thus make substantial contributions to the N pool in grasslands. However, to optimize their use as sources of N, it is important to elucidate the effects of management factors that influence ...

Buck Wheat: Nutritional, Bioactive Characteristics, Health Benefits, and Side Effects

Future Postharvest and Food, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Micronutrient deficits have resulted from an over‐reliance on a small number of cereal crops for food security. The agricultural sector faces severe sustainability issues due to the rapid growth of the world's population and sudden climatic changes.
