A Systematic Approach to Field Testing of Biological Products for Horticulture Is Required to Improve Food Security

Journal of Sustainable Agriculture and Environment, Volume 5, Issue 1, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Food security challenges require immediate action to increase food production. Many biological products derived from plant, animal or microbial sources claim they sustainably increase yield, but there are concerns about biosecurity to be investigated before their introduction to the field.

Enzymatic polyphenoloxidase inactivation with temperature and ozone in sugarcane variety RB 92579 to produce lower color sugar

Brazilian Journal of Food Technology, 2019
Some sugarcane varieties have high activity of polyphenoloxidase enzyme, impairing the production of lower color sugar. Polyphenoloxidase (PPO) is an enzyme from the oxidoreductases group and it is present in a greater or lesser amount depending on the ...

Polyphenoloxidase activity in peaches after vibration [PDF]

Engenharia Agrícola, 2013
The vibration during transportation is one of the main causes of fruit damage. The actual methodologies used for damage evaluation in fruits seem to be subjective, since most of them are based on visual evaluation. In this study the effect of vibration, for one and two hours, on polyphenoloxidase (PPO) activity in peach pulp was investigated.

Progress in the study of dioecy in Mexican cycad species and its implications for conservation

Plant Species Biology, Volume 40, Issue 6, Page 556-571, November 2025.
Cycads are endangered dioecious plants of great ornamental value that have a long period of sexual maturity. Therefore, it is crucial to have methods for early sex determination that can help to develop effective strategies for their conservation. Abstract Dioecy is a system of sexual reproduction in plants, characterized by the spatial separation of ...

Characterization of polyphenoloxidase (PPO) extracted from ‘Jonagored’ apple [PDF]

Food Control, 2001
Polyphenoloxidase (PPO) was extracted from apple (cv. Jonagored) with addition of 2% PVP and 0.25% Triton X100 to the extraction buffer containing phenolic adsorbents. Experiments were performed to evaluate the affinity and specificity towards several substrates.

A comprehensive review of the genetic control of cooking time in dry beans (Phaseolus vulgaris L.)

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 7, Issue 4, Page 934-953, July 2025.
Reducing cooking time could increase dry beans (Phaseolus vulgaris) consumption. Cooking is an essential processing step needed to unlock the nutrients in dry beans and to make them palatable and safe for consumption. Long cooking times have consequences for dry bean use, especially where cooking fuel cost is high and when people prefer foods that are ...

Root Rot Affects Red Clover More Than Other Forage Legumes in Mixed Grass‐Legume Leys

Grass and Forage Science, Volume 80, Issue 3, July-September 2025.
ABSTRACT Red clover (RC) (Trifolium pratense L.) is the most important forage legume in Swedish mixed grass‐legume (MGL) leys. This study evaluated the persistence of two RC cultivars, white clover (WC), birdsfoot trefoil (BT), and lucerne (LU) in mixtures of timothy and meadow fescue associated with root rot (RR).
