Preharvest potassium silicate treatments influence the morphological appearance and enhance nutritional composition of almond kernels

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, Volume 106, Issue 5, Page 2800-2807, 30 March 2026.
Abstract BACKGROUND The almond industry requires new strategies to improve almond kernel quality. The use of biostimulants such as potassium silicate (KSi) is an eco‐friendly and non‐polluting alternative. The aim of this work was to investigate the preharvest application of KSi solutions at 2 and 20 mmol L−1 to ‘Peraleja’ almond trees during two ...

Biodegradable HPMC–chitosan film for moisture retention and quality preservation in fresh‐cut mango

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, Volume 106, Issue 5, Page 2905-2916, 30 March 2026.
Abstract BACKGROUND Replacing conventional plastics with biodegradable solutions that control moisture loss in fresh‐cut produce is a strategic need. This study developed hydroxypropylmethylcellulose (HPMC) and chitosan (CS) films plasticised with glycerol (Gly) and evaluated their use as sealing lids for fresh‐cut mango. RESULTS The selected monolayer

A review of the postharvest biochemical, biophysical and biological properties of 61 cultivars of North American pawpaw (Asimina triloba) fruit

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.

From freshness to preservation: insights into processing and storage impacts on purple passion fruit volatilome

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, Volume 106, Issue 4, Page 2139-2153, 15 March 2026.
Abstract BACKGROUND Purple passion fruit is highly appreciated for its distinctive sweet flavour, low acidity, and aromatic profile, making it a desirable choice for fresh consumption and juice production. To ensure microbiological safety and extend shelf life, juice products typically undergo thermal pasteurization, which can alter their ...

The Promise of Low‐Cost Metal‐Oxide Semiconductor Gas Sensors for Precision Agriculture

Advanced Sensor Research, Volume 5, Issue 3, March 2026.
Low‐cost MOS (metal‐oxide semiconductor) gas sensors are redefining smart farming. This review explores their role across soil monitoring, crop health assessment, and post‐harvest management. By addressing challenges of selectivity, signal drift, and data fusion, this work envisions MOS gas sensors as pivotal tools for intelligent, data‐driven, and ...
