Natural extracts of soursop flowers, aged green tea leaves, and ginger rhizomes mitigate thermo‐oxidative degradation of palm olein during plantain chip deep‐frying

Food Biomacromolecules, EarlyView.
Addition of old green tea leaves, soursop flowers and ginger root extract at concentrations 1000, 1400, and 1800 ppm in palm olein significantly extend its shelf‐life during frying of plantain chips. These plants' extracts are potential alternative to the use of synthetic antioxidants in preserving oil quality. Abstract This work was designed to assess

Holocene sea‐level and environmental changes on the Isle of Mull, Scotland

Journal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Sea‐level and coastal changes are reconstructed on the Isle of Mull, western Scotland, from 10 988 to 10 507 cal BP to the present. This research has produced the first SLIP for the Isle of Mull. A multiproxy approach including pollen, spore, foraminifera and diatom analyses reveals palaeoenvironmental changes from two coastal sites.
