Pretreatment‐Driven Modulation of Green Mango Drying: Kinetics, Energy Consumption, Techno‐Functionality, and Environmental Sustainability

Food Science &Nutrition, Volume 14, Issue 8, August 2026.
Hot‐air drying of green mango slices was evaluated following three pretreatments: citric acid (CA), hot water blanching (HWB), and steam blanching (SB). The effects of pretreatment and drying temperature were assessed through drying kinetics, thin‐layer modeling, thermodynamic properties, energy performance, product quality, and environmental impacts ...

Assessing trade‐off risk between crop production and vertebrate biodiversity in three African countries

People and Nature, Volume 8, Issue 8, Page 2796-2814, August 2026.
Abstract Governments worldwide are committed to eliminating hunger and conserving biodiversity, reflected in United Nations Sustainable Development Goals 2 (Zero Hunger) and 15 (Life on Land). Expanding agricultural lands to meet growing food demands often threatens biodiversity, creating potential trade‐offs between these objectives. To understand the

Maize Biofortification Approaches for Fighting Malnutrition in Sub‐Saharan Africa

Plant-Environment Interactions, Volume 7, Issue 4, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Maize is a staple food in sub‐Saharan Africa (SSA); however, commonly used maize varieties are deficient in essential nutrients, including lysine, tryptophan, vitamin A, and minerals such as iron (Fe) and zinc (Zn). As a result, millions of people in this region suffer from one or more nutrient deficiencies that commonly lead to malnutrition ...

Land‐Use Shapes Soil Fungal Communities and Functional Guilds in Tropical Forest Ecosystems

Plant-Environment Interactions, Volume 7, Issue 4, August 2026.
Land‐use change is a major cause of biodiversity loss and soil degradation in tropical regions. The role of soil fungi, including arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF), though critical, is often overlooked. AMF communities across cropland, disturbed forest, and undisturbed forest vegetation in southwestern Nigeria were relatively resilient to land‐use ...
