Unripe Banana Genotypes are Starchy Sources. Part I. Morphology, Growth Rings, and Ultrastructure of Native Starches

open access: yesStarch - Stärke, Volume 78, Issue 10, October 2026.
Unripe banana flour is a starch source with a high content of resistant starch in its raw form. Recently, interest has grown in raw materials with low levels of indigestible carbohydrates. Different banana genotypes vary in granule morphology, which influences their functional properties and digestibility.

Rapid Physicochemical Screening of Parboiled Rice Using VNIR–SWIR Spectroscopy and Chemometrics

open access: yesJournal of Food Science, Volume 91, Issue 10, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Efficient quality assessment of parboiled rice is important for industrial processing, but conventional analytical procedures are often time‐consuming, reagent‐intensive, and destructive. This study evaluated VNIR–SWIR spectroscopy combined with chemometric modeling for the rapid prediction of moisture, starch, protein, lipids, fiber, and ash ...

Fruit‐Piercing Moth Serrodes partita (Fabricius) (Lepidoptera: Erebidae) in Soft Citrus: Feeding Behaviour and Damage Patterns for Improved Management in the Eastern Cape, South Africa

open access: yesAfrican Journal of Ecology, Volume 64, Issue 7, October 2026.
ABSTRACT The fruit‐piercing moth, Serrodes partita (Lepidoptera: Erebidae), is a significant pest of soft citrus in South Africa. The adult moth pierces ripe and ripening fruit, leading to fruit rot. The damage is challenging to detect due to the delayed onset of symptoms. The study investigated the feeding preferences and damage patterns of S. partita
