The use of edible insects in human food

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, Volume 106, Issue 10, Page 5775-5787, 15 August 2026.
Abstract The world population is expected to reach approximately 10 billion people by 2050, which will significantly increase global food demand and may lead to agricultural shortages and a higher risk of food insecurity. In this context, this review discusses the potential of insects as alternative sources of animal protein, addressing their ...

Preharvest application of antagonistic yeasts for the control of fungal pathogens in organic peach and plum orchards

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, Volume 106, Issue 10, Page 5881-5889, 15 August 2026.
Abstract BACKGROUND The control of fungal diseases in organic fruit production remains a major challenge due to the limited availability of authorized phytosanitary tools. This study evaluates the efficacy of two antagonistic yeasts – Metschnikowia pulcherrima L672 and Hanseniaspora uvarum L793 – in organic peach ( Prunus persica ) and plum ( Prunus ...

Comparative analysis of fungal microbiomes in Korean and Chinese chili pepper powders

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, Volume 106, Issue 9, Page 5680-5687, July 2026.
Abstract BACKGROUND Chili pepper powder plays a crucial role in kimchi fermentation; however, its use may result in fungal contamination. Therefore, analyzing its mycobiome is vital to maintain quality control standards. In this study, we used internal transcribed spacer (ITS)2 amplicon sequencing to compare fungal communities in commercially available

RNA interference in crop protection: opportunities and challenges during the transition to commercialization

Pest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 7, Page 5971-5986, July 2026.
RNA interference (RNAi) technologies, host‐induced gene silencing (HIGS) and spray‐induced gene silencing (SIGS), potentially offer sustainable crop protection. However, efficacy, costs, regulatory clarity, and socio‐environmental impacts require further evaluation for broader use.

Degradation of Four Major Mycotoxins by Eight Manganese Peroxidases in Presence of a Dicarboxylic Acid

, 2019
Enzymatic treatment is an attractive method for mycotoxin detoxification, which ideally prefers the use of one or a few enzymes. However, this is challenged by the diverse structures and co-contamination of multiple mycotoxins in food and feed.

Texture Engineering of Nondairy Yogurt Alternatives: Ingredient Selection, Processing Strategies, and the Role of In Situ Dextrans

Comprehensive Reviews in Food Science and Food Safety, Volume 25, Issue 4, July 2026.
ABSTRACT A global shift from diets rich in animal‐based products toward plant‐based diets has been widely promoted as a key strategy for creating more sustainable food systems. However, the adoption of plant‐based alternatives depends on multiple factors, including consumer preferences, sensory quality, product affordability, and availability, in ...

Evaluating putative lncRNA‐mediated ceRNA regulatory network involving miR396 and miR319 in maize leaf growth under Fusarium verticillioides infection

Annals of Applied Biology, Volume 189, Issue 1, July 2026.
The final leaf length of maize (Zea mays) was reduced due to the pathogenic fungus Fusarium verticillioides infection as a result of increased expression of miR396 in the elongation zone and decreased expression of miR319 in the mature zone of maize leaves, leading to antagonistic regulation of the expression of the GRF15 and TCP38, respectively ...
