Use of Liquid Nitrogen in Food Products: A Review

Food Frontiers, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The increasing demand for frozen products has led companies to offer a variety of foods that may struggle to maintain quality. Traditional freezing methods often negatively impact food quality, affecting texture, color, flavor, and so forth.

Genetic analysis of a major international collection of cultivated apple varieties reveals previously unknown historic heteroploid and inbred relationships [PDF]

, 2018
Domesticated apple (Malus x domestica Borkh.) is a major global crop and the genetic diversity held within the pool of cultivated varieties is important for the development of future cultivars.

PolSpec: Polarisation‐Based Detection for Versatile, Cost‐Effective Rapid Hyperspectral Imaging

Journal of Biophotonics, EarlyView.
“PolSpec” is a fast, flexible, data efficient and cost‐effective technique for hyperspectral imaging utilising polarisation‐based spectral modulation. Using data‐efficient representation of spectral information on vector plots, it facilitates rapid visualisation and segmentation of spectral contrast to classify sample features. As a proof of concept, a

Postharvest jasmonic acid and methyl jasmonate dip treatments alleviate chilling injury and maintain quality of cold‐stored ‘Black Amber’ and ‘Tegan Blue’ Japanese plums (Prunus salicina Lindell)

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND Chilling injury (CI) in Japanese plums (Prunus salicina Lindell) is a critical cold storage constraint that adversely impacts fruit quality and marketability. Jasmonic acid (JA) and its methyl derivative ‘methyl jasmonate’ (MeJA) are widely studied phytohormones for the mitigation of CI in several fruit crops, whereas their efficacy

Biological control of apple scab and fire blight by the application of the non-pathogenic bacterium Pseudomonas fluorescens Bk3 to the leaf surface [PDF]

, 2008
The biological control of plant diseases by application of antagonistic microorganisms to the plant phyllosphere is an alternative strategy to prevent the frequent treatment of plants by pesticides.

Dissipation study of ten insecticides in apples under field conditions

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND Apples are among the most widely cultivated fruits in temperate climate zone. Given the potential of pests and diseases to cause significant damage to fruit production, orchardists rely on using insecticides and fungicides in infested orchards to protect apple yields.

Phenology in winter‐deciduous relict Mediterranean forests as a tool to understand their adaptation to climatic seasonal cycles

Nordic Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Winter deciduous forests signify a relict ecosystem that survives restricted to microclimatic zones of high mountains in the western Mediterranean Basin and they are well represented in the southern Iberian Peninsula (Sierra Nevada, Spain). Given the scarce knowledge of their phenological behaviour, the aim of this work was to obtain the annual ...

Trees, society, and the path toward resilient ecosystems

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Over 3 trillion trees occupy the Earth's land surface, mostly in tropical and subtropical forests. These trees provide vital ecosystem services, such as climate regulation, carbon sequestration, and habitat and food provision. Trees are also deeply interconnected with humans, offering social and cultural values.
