Lowering salivary pH with sugar‐containing gum augments salivary nitrite production and blood pressure reduction with dietary nitrate (beetroot juice)

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Acutely lowering salivary pH (with sugar‐containing acidic gum vs. sugar‐free gum) augments salivary nitrate reduction to nitrite, plasma nitrite concentration, and blood pressure lowering with dietary nitrate. Modifying salivary pH reveals a mechanism by which the nitrate‐nitrite‐NO pathway may be upregulated/inhibited, with potential for other ...

Pulsed Light Technology in Food Safety and Preservation: Principles, Applications, and Future Directions

Food Chemistry International, EarlyView.
Pulsed light technology uses short high‐intensity broad‐spectrum flashes (200–1100 nm) to inactivate microbes via DNA damage. It preserves food quality, extends shelf life, and works on liquids, meats, and produce, often combined with other hurdles for enhanced efficacy.

The effect of within-crop habitat manipulations on the conservation biological control of aphids in field-grown lettuce [PDF]

, 2011
Within-crop habitat manipulations have the potential to increase the biological control of pests in horticultural field crops. Wildflower strips have been shown to increase the abundance of natural enemies, but there is little evidence to date of an ...
