Evaluation of Banana Pseudostem Fibres for Packaging Material Development

Packaging Technology and Science, Volume 39, Issue 1, Page 91-103, January 2026.
Composites were developed from banana pseudostem fibres, extracted from a thermomechanical method to produce pulp, which was subsequently hot‐pressed with gum arabic to form fibreboards intended as sustainable packaging material. ABSTRACT The present study investigated composites prepared from banana pseudostem fibres (BF) and gum arabic (GA), in ...

Tipos e intensidade de danos mecânicos em bananas 'prata-anã' ao longo da cadeia de comercialização Types and intensity of mechanical damages on 'prata anã' bananas along the commercialization chain

Revista Brasileira de Fruticultura, 2008
Atualmente, a maior parte da produção brasileira de banana é destinada ao mercado interno e, geralmente, é colhida, manuseada e transportada de forma deficiente e inadequada, contribuindo para perdas substanciais na fase pós-colheita.

Risks for human health related to the presence of plant lectins in food

EFSA Journal, Volume 24, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract The European Commission asked the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) to assess the risk related to the presence of plant lectins in food. Based on the available evidence, the CONTAM Panel considered only phytohaemagglutinin (PHA), a legume lectin from beans (Phaseolus sp.), for the risk characterisation.

Polyethyleneimine‐Modified Biosorbent Based on Banana Pseudostem Biomass for Environmental Remediation and Food Analysis

Advanced Sustainable Systems, Volume 9, Issue 12, December 2025.
Biosorbents derived from banana pseudostem are functionalized with polyethyleneimine, with or without glutaraldehyde, and evaluated for dye removal and solid‐phase extraction. The materials exhibit high adsorption capacities and broad pH applicability in dye removal, while computational studies reveal amino groups as key interaction sites.

Next‐Generation Therapies for Gastrointestinal Repair: Converging Traditional Medicine and Tissue Engineering

JGH Open, Volume 9, Issue 12, December 2025.
ABSTRACT The gastrointestinal (GI) tract plays a vital role in regulating metabolic pathways, nutrient absorption, and cellular homeostasis. Abnormalities in the GI tract often arise from unhealthy lifestyles, genetic mutations, and prolonged medication use, leading to disorders such as ulcers, cirrhosis, and malignancies.

Association mapping for Striga resistance and agronomic‐related traits in sorghum

The Plant Genome, Volume 18, Issue 4, December 2025.
Abstract Over 50% of arable land available for cereal production in sub‐Saharan Africa is severely infested with Striga hermonthica (Del.) Benth, posing a significant challenge to agricultural productivity in the region. In this study, we performed association mapping of plant height, panicle height, number of leaves per plant, field fresh grain weight,
