Effect of gamma irradiation and storage days on physicochemical, sensory, and microbial quality of pineapple (Ananas comosus) fresh cut under refrigeration

JSFA reports, Volume 6, Issue 8, Page 292-300, August 2026.
Abstract Background Fresh‐cut pineapple is increasingly consumed for its convenience and nutritional value; however, minimal processing accelerates quality deterioration and microbial growth, resulting in substantial postharvest losses. Gamma irradiation is recognized as a nonthermal preservation technique, but limited information exists regarding its ...

Papaya‐Leaf‐Assisted Fermentation for Enhanced Extraction of Cassava Peel Starch and Its Application in Biodegradable Films

Starch - Stärke, Volume 78, Issue 8, August 2026.
Papaya‐leaf‐assisted fermentation enhanced cassava‐peel starch recovery relative to fermentation without leaves and direct grinding, while lowering nitrogenous residues. Films plasticized with glycerol and acetic acid exhibited disrupted starch hydrogen bonding, loss of A‐type crystallinity, and pronounced hydrophilicity. Soil‐burial tests showed rapid,
