Comprehensive Review on Advancements in Food Preservation Technologies for Quality and Sustainability

Food Chemistry International, EarlyView.
Preservatives limit microbial development, oxidation, and enzymatic degradation, resulting in better food quality and extended shelf life. Classified as natural, synthetic, or biological, each preservative has distinctive attributes and modes of action. Growing preference for natural preservatives aligns with clean label trends.

Interactions of delivery systems modulating the digestibility of plant‐based proteins

Food Biomacromolecules, EarlyView.
Abstract Plant‐based proteins are gaining interest as sustainable alternatives to animal‐derived proteins, but their digestibility is often lower and strongly influenced by protein structure, processing history, and food‐matrix interactions. This review critically examines how emulsions, hydrogels, micro‐ and nanoparticles, micelles, liposomes ...

Recent Paradigms in Nanomaterial‐Assisted Electrochemical (Bio) Sensing for Food Quality and Safety Analysis: A Critical Review

Food Safety and Health, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Rising global demand for safe and unadulterated foods has accelerated the need for rapid, low‐cost, and portable analytical technologies. Traditional laboratory methods, although accurate, are often labor‐intensive and unsuitable for decentralized, real‐time monitoring. In response, nanomaterial‐assisted electrochemical sensors have emerged as

Farmers' Soil–Water Management Practices and Perspectives on Soil Salinization in Mirab Abaya District, Gamo Zone, Southern Ethiopia

Irrigation and Drainage, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Soil salinization is a critical threat, impacting 20% of the world's irrigated lands and jeopardizing food security. In Ethiopia's Mirab Abaya district of the Gamo Zone, unsustainable irrigation methods exacerbate this issue. This paper examines local farmers' soil–water management systems and their awareness of salinization, aiming to educate
