Nutrient composition and heavy metal accumulation in water hyacinth [Eichhornia crassipes (Mart.) Solms] and water lettuce (Pistia stratiotes L.) from the Dande River, Nepal: Implications for use as alternative feed resources

JSFA reports, EarlyView.
Abstract Background The proliferation of invasive aquatic macrophytes poses a significant ecological challenge globally, while many tropical regions face chronic shortages of affordable livestock feed. This study addresses this dual problem by assessing two invasive species, water hyacinth (Eichhornia crassipes) and water lettuce (Pistia stratiotes ...

Nutritional and sensory characteristics of local and hybrid East African Highland cooking bananas: Implications for breeding programs

JSFA reports, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Bananas (Musa species) are an important staple food and cash crop in many parts of the world. The East African Highland cooking bananas form the backbone of food security for millions of Ugandans. The demand for high quality cooking bananas is thus closely linked to their sensory characteristics (which drive consumer preference) and

Ligand-Wise Stripping Dictates Metal Ensemble Catalysts for Selective Oxidation of Biomass-Derived 5-Hydroxymethylfurfural

Nano-Micro Letters
Highlights Lignin-tailored Co-N2/Co4 catalyst with tunable active sites were constructed by the “stepwise N-stripping” strategy. Co-N2 and Co4 sites collaboratively drove cascade oxidation of –CH2OH and –CHO groups.

Comparative Evaluation of Additives in Softwood Fractionation: Impacts on Lignin Recovery and Pulp Quality. [PDF]

ChemSusChem
Chemical lignin stabilization during acid hydrotropic fractionation is shown to distinctly influence delignification, lignin quality, and pulp performance. Phenol enhances lignin removal, while thiol‐based modifier yields light‐colored lignin, high recovery, and strong pulp.
