Food Security Versus Environmental Health: The Nitrogen Dilemma

Journal of Plant Nutrition and Soil Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Nitrogen is an essential element for plant growth and, consequently, crop production. However, the cycling of nitrogen in the environment can have negative effects. Here, we review the historical development of scientific and public awareness of these effects and the influence this has had on political action to control them.

Plant Availability of Phosphorus From Sewage Sludge Ash‐Based Fertilizers and Its Relationship to Phosphorus Extractability

Journal of Plant Nutrition and Soil Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Sewage sludge ash (SSA) is a potential phosphorus (P) source for fertilizers, but untreated SSA (USSA) often shows low plant availability of P. To increase P availability, sodium additives can be applied before sewage sludge incineration or during thermochemical SSA posttreatment, as this leads to the formation of CaNaPO4.

BNYVV-derived dsRNA confers resistance to rhizomania disease of sugar beet as evidenced by a novel transgenic hairy root approach [PDF]

, 2010
Agrobacterium rhizogenes-transformed sugar beet hairy roots, expressing dsRNA from the Beet necrotic yellow vein virus replicase gene, were used as a novel approach to assess the efficacy of three intron-hairpin constructs at conferring resistance to ...

Impact of cold plasma pretreatment and hybrid infrared—hot air drying on bioactive compounds, antioxidant activity, colorimetric attributes, and texture of red beet

JSFA reports, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Drying is essential for food preservation, yet conventional methods often compromise product quality. This study investigated the effects of cold plasma pretreatment time (0, 15, and 30 s) and an intermittent infrared‐hot air hybrid dryer (300, 600, and 900 W; pulse ratios 1 and 2) on the functional and quality attributes of dried ...

Effects of Red Bit Extract (Beta vulgaris L.) on VEGF, and Endometrial Thickness in Mice (Rattus norvegicus) Exposed to Cigarette Smoke

Window of Health, 2018
Exposure to cigarette smoke often occurs among people, especially low-income countries. Frequent exposure to cigarette smoke can cause an increase in ROS in the body resulting in increased oxidative stress.

Thermo-mechanical processing of sugar beet pulp. III. Study of extruded films improvement with various plasticizers and cross-linkers [PDF]

, 2009
Thermoplastic sugar beet pulp (thermo-mechanical processing was discussed in previous studies) was formed into film strips by extrusion. Film tensile properties are discussed according to the molecular structure of external plasticizer.

Sensorial and nutritional qualities of muscles from cross‐bred Salers heifers raised on mid‐mountain pasture

JSFA reports, EarlyView.
Abstract Background This study investigated the effects of crossbreeding, finishing system, and muscle type on carcass characteristics, intramuscular fat (IMF), image‐based IMF estimation, fatty acid composition, and meat quality in beef heifers. Charolais × Salers (C × S) and Angus × Salers (A × S) crossbred heifers were finished either on pasture or ...

Thermo-mechanical processing of sugar beet pulp. I. Twin-screw extrusion process [PDF]

, 2006
Sugar beet pulp (SBP) is the raffinate of sugar extraction. Composed of empty vegetal cells, three quarters of it consist of polysaccharides. As it is cheap and produced in great quantities SBP is a potential raw material for industrial applications ...

Curly protein nanofibril systems for improving thermal stability and copigmentation of hibiscus anthocyanins

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND Anthocyanins are attractive natural colorants for clean‐label food applications; however, their widespread use is limited by poor thermal stability. Protein nanofibrils have recently emerged as promising natural stabilizers because of their high surface area and ability to interact with anthocyanins through non‐covalent interactions.
