Root-induced decrease in metal binding capacity of dissolved organic matters in the rhizosphere: evidences from two convergent studies : S10.01b -1 [PDF]

, 2012
The parallel understanding of dissolved organic matters (DOM) impact on trace metal speciation in soil and root ability to change DOM concentration and composition in the rhizosphere strongly suggests a substantial alteration of metal binding capacity of

Investigating the Impact of Three Washing Methods on Microbial Reduction, Color, and Texture of Spinach and Tomatoes

Future Postharvest and Food, EarlyView.
The effectiveness of three washing methods (tap water, 0.01% sodium hypochlorite, and 1% citric acid) was investigated on spinach and tomatoes. The citric acid solution demonstrated the highest microbial reduction for both spinach and tomatoes, particularly during storage, and maintained the produce texture or color.

Marine Macroalgae as a Safe Healthy Food While Meeting Food Security Challenges Arising From Climate Changes

Food Safety and Health, EarlyView.
Planned harvesting and processing of marine macroalgae could meet future global food needs and mitigate fuel‐originated carbon dioxide responsible for climate change. Microalgal foods are nutritious and safe. The utilization of macroalgae would avoid environmental problems arising from the release of overgrowing macroalgae caused by heatwaves, which ...
