Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, Volume 106, Issue 4, Page 1968-1980, 15 March 2026.Abstract Fruit from the North American pawpaw (Asimina triloba) is unfamiliar to many as a food crop and botanically unusual because it is the northernmost genus and only temperate member of the tropical Annonaceae family. It is the largest edible fruit native to North America.

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, Volume 106, Issue 4, Page 2200-2210, 15 March 2026.Abstract BACKGROUND Cacti, including pitaya (Hylocereus spp.), are rich in antioxidants that will undoubtedly gain importance under ongoing climate change as water resources decline. Yet the molecular basis linking composition to antioxidant function remains incompletely defined. We compared white‐fleshed H. undatus and red‐fleshed H. polyrhizus across

Maize‐derived arabinoxylans modulate starch pasting, gel structure, and retrogradation
Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, Volume 106, Issue 4, Page 2300-2310, 15 March 2026.Abstract BACKGROUND Starch–fiber interactions play a paramount role in determining the functional quality and stability of starch‐based food products. This study systematically examined how maize arabinoxylans (MAX) influences the hydration, pasting, textural, and microstructural properties of maize starch gels.
