Evaluation of Storage Conditions and Pre‐Treatment Methods to Mitigate Aflatoxin Contamination in Commonly Used Chinese Herbal Medicines

Phytochemicals in Food and Medicine, Volume 1, Issue 2, June 2026.
High temperature and humidity significantly promote aflatoxin contamination in herbal medicines. This research demonstrates that drying, vacuum packaging, and sulfur fumigation are effective strategies to minimize contamination and extend shelf life, whereas UV exposure proves ineffective for decontamination.

Bio‐Insecticidal Efficacy of Phytochemicals in Acorus calamus Rhizome and Piper longum Plant Extracts as Green Alternatives to Synthetic Insecticides Against Tribolium castaneum

Phytochemicals in Food and Medicine, Volume 1, Issue 2, June 2026.
ABSTRACT To meet the increasing food demands of a growing global population, agricultural productivity must rise substantially. However, the excessive reliance on synthetic pesticides has resulted in the development of resistance among stored‐product insect pests, necessitating the search for sustainable and eco‐friendly alternatives. The present study

Association of Agro‐Morphological Traits With Cup Quality in Accessions of Coffea arabica L. From the INIA Germplasm Bank, Peru

Journal of Sustainable Agriculture and Environment, Volume 5, Issue 2, June 2026.
ABSTRACT In recent years, Peruvian coffee production has increasingly focused on specialty coffees, with cup quality (CQ) as a key criterion. While previous studies have characterized the Coffee Germplasm Collection of the National Institute of Agrarian Innovation (CGC‐INIA), few studies have analyzed coffee cup quality.
