Abstract BACKGROUND Anthocyanins are attractive natural colorants for clean‐label food applications; however, their widespread use is limited by poor thermal stability. Protein nanofibrils have recently emerged as promising natural stabilizers because of their high surface area and ability to interact with anthocyanins through non‐covalent interactions.

Mapping Causal Biology: Mendelian Randomization in the Era of Big Data
Mendelian randomization (MR) leverages genetic variants to mitigate confounding biases in causal inference. This review systematically maps MR's methodological evolution, highlights its expanding applications in epidemiology and drug target validation, and outlines future directions for overcoming current biases through dynamic, multi‐omics, and cross ...

NMR T2 relaxation measurements enabled following hydration kinetics of texturized soy protein in real time, and to examine the effects of pH and ionic strength on water mobility in rehydrated, texturized soy protein at equilibrium. ABSTRACT Rehydration of texturized vegetable proteins (TVPs) is decisive for their functional properties, but little is ...

Compositional diversity in pea flour: Effects on functional properties
Peas, recognized for their nutritional richness and sustainability in food systems, are increasingly important for global food security. Although flours vary widely in composition, the effects of starch and protein on their functional properties in food ...

Crop wild relatives (CWR) in Zimbabwe are reservoirs of beneficial agronomic traits, yet they remain under‐documented and poorly conserved. This study developed Zimbabwe's first national CWR checklist based on a conceptual framework combining floristic, ecological and ethnobotanical data, revealing over 2700 taxa, with nearly 1000 edible species ...

Reconsidering how to dry orthodox seeds for improved ex situ conservation outcomes
Ex situ seed conservation is an essential tool in our efforts to conserve wild and cultivated plant diversity, as mentioned in the Global Strategy for Plant Conservation and the Sustainable Development Goals. While there are established standards which seed banks follow, it is important that we continue to evaluate protocols and optimize processes ...

Anthropogenic facilitation of wild plants based on aesthetic preferences for particular traits can change the biogeography and ecology of natural communities. We use a mixed‐methods socioecological approach to characterize the ways in which humans interact with a common, widely distributed plant and a generalist viral symbiont that induces an ...
