An Investigation Into the Sensory Properties of Cookies Made With Luffa Seed Powder

Journal of Sensory Studies, Volume 40, Issue 6, December 2025.
ABSTRACT The seeds are currently a waste product from the luffa sponge (exfoliator) production. Luffa seeds could be a new and innovative sustainable ingredient as they offer nutritional benefits. Before they can be considered for use in different food products, their sensory properties and consumer acceptability need to be determined.

Twenty years of cucurbit breeding research at the World Vegetable Center

Crop Science, Volume 65, Issue 6, November/December 2025.
Abstract The contribution of cucurbit crops to global food and nutrition security is immense. They are economically and nutritionally important to smallholder farmers in Asia, who account for 81% of global cucurbit production. World Vegetable Center (WorldVeg) has been focused for 20 years on four species: bitter gourd (Momordica charantia), ridge ...

A New Aerosol‐Based Photobioreactor for the Cultivation of Cyanobacteria on Luffa

Biotechnology and Bioengineering, Volume 122, Issue 7, Page 1669-1683, July 2025.
ABSTRACT Cyanobacteria are promising organisms for sustainable biotechnology due to their ability to grow photoautotrophically and their wide range of products. Many cyanobacteria grow in the form of biofilms, which is why the development of photobioreactors (PBR) for the cultivation of cyanobacteria in the form of biofilms is of great interest ...
