Beyond mammals: the evolution of chewing and other forms of oropharyngeal food processing in vertebrates

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 3, Page 1406-1462, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Oropharyngeal food processing exhibits a remarkable diversity among vertebrates, reflecting the evolution of specialised ‘processing centres’ associated with the mandibular, hyoid, and branchial arches. Although studies have detailed various food‐processing strategies and mechanisms across vertebrates, a coherent and comprehensive terminology ...

Effect of packing conditions on the acrylamide content in black ripe olives

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, Volume 106, Issue 8, Page 4635-4642, June 2026.
Abstract BACKGROUND Black ripe olives are considered a ‘low‐acid canned food’ and must be sterilized in order to be safe. Acrylamide, a potential carcinogen, is formed in black olives during the thermal treatment. It is known that the formation of acrylamide is dependent on the pH of the olive flesh. The purpose of this study was designed to assess the

Unraveling Oral Dysbiosis: Microbial Complexity in Common Oral Diseases

MicrobiologyOpen, Volume 15, Issue 3, June 2026.
The oral microbiome undergoes dynamic establishment from birth, maturing into a resilient ecosystem. Perturbation of this homeostasis—driven by dietary, immunological, and anatomical factors—triggers dysbiosis, which underpins the pathogenesis of major oral diseases, including dental caries, periodontal disease, salivary gland disorders, oral mucosal ...
