Uncovering the Key Factors Influencing Phytochemical and Phytopharmacological Properties During Medicinal Plant Processing

eFood, Volume 7, Issue 1, February 2026.
From farm to pharma, this review details the engineering of quality in medicinal plants through a science‐driven approach: it first elucidates how genetic and environmental factors inscribe the plant's phytochemical and phytopharmacological profile before harvest, and then dissects the postharvest techniques and technologies—chemical and thermal pre ...

Cationic surfactants modified kaolin – Efficient adsorbents for mycotoxins

, 2019
The natural kaolin from a plant for the production of quartz sand in Rgotina, Serbia (KR) was modified with two cationic surfactants - octadecyl dimethyl benzyl ammonium chloride (O) and hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide (H). Both surfactants were added in amounts equal to 90% of kaolin cation exchange capacity (CEC).

Analytical tools to determine mycotoxins and modified mycotoxins

, 2018
Controlling contaminants in food is a priority for human and animal health and one of the major concerns of authorities across all over the world. In food and feed samples, small and secondary metabolites produced by filamentous fungi, known as mycotoxins, can appear.

Yeast‐Based Biotechnology for Civilian Security

Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 18, Issue 1, February 2026.
Yeasts constitute robust and versatile eukaryotic platforms for biotechnological applications relevant to civilian security. Both native and genetically engineered yeast systems enable sensitive detection of chemical and biological hazards, effective removal of metals and organic pollutants, and detoxification of mycotoxins.

Adsorption of mycotoxins by unmodified and modified phillipsite

, 2018
Introduction Mycotoxins are secondary metabolites produced by various fungi, primarily belonging to Aspergillus, Fusarium, or Penicillium genera. The most common mycotoxins found in animal feed are the aflatoxins, ochratoxins, trichothecenes, fumonisins, zearalenone and ergot alkaloids.

Genetic Gains in Durum Wheat (Triticum turgidum ssp. durum) Across the Globe: Yield, Quality and Adapting for Variable Weather Patterns

Plant Breeding, Volume 145, Issue 1, Page 142-165, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Durum wheat (Triticum turgidum ssp. durum [Desf.] Husnot) is cultivated globally and used to produce pasta, couscous, bulgur and other semolina products. With the growing world population and increasing food demand, it is pertinent to understand past trends in global food production to shape future endeavours.

Safety evaluation of the food enzyme papain, a cysteine endopeptidase complex from the latex of <i>Carica papaya</i> L. [PDF]

EFSA J
Abstract The food enzyme is a cysteine endopeptidase complex, containing papain (EC 3.4.22.2), chymopapain (EC 3.4.22.6), caricain (EC 3.4.22.30) and glycyl endopeptidase (EC 3.4.22.25), obtained from the latex of unripe Carica papaya L. by Troplandis BVBA. Dietary exposure was evaluated for seven food manufacturing processes and was estimated to be up

Gradients of Aliveness and Engineering: A Taxonomy of Fungal Engineered Living Materials

Advanced Materials, Volume 38, Issue 5, 22 January 2026.
This paper explores the potential of fungal engineered living materials (ELMs), examining fungal biology and growth mechanisms, which underpin their development. It presents a classification framework based on aliveness, scaffold composition, and engineering degree. Unique properties such as self‐healing, biosensing, and bioremediation are highlighted,
