Organic Matter Quality and Microbial Activity in Soils Managed With Brachiaria Succession

Journal of Plant Nutrition and Soil Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Although succession systems and brachiaria improve soil quality, gaps remain in microbial community dynamics, activity, and soil organic matter stocks. Methods The objective was to evaluate the carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) stocks of soil organic matter fractions and their distribution, molecular characterization, enzyme activity ...

Transparent Surfactant‐Based Isotropic Systems for Topical Co‐Delivery of Hydrophilic and Lipophilic Actives for Striae Distensae

Journal of Surfactants and Detergents, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Striae distensae are common dermal lesions that negatively affect skin appearance, and topical management remains limited by challenges related to skin deposition and residence time. Here, we developed transparent surfactant‐based isotropic systems for the topical co‐delivery of ascorbic acid (AA), retinoic acid (RA), and lavender essential ...

Antimicrobial bilayer starch film containing zein electrospun fibers encapsulating thyme essential oil for cherry tomato packaging

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract Background This study evaluated the antimicrobial activity of thyme essential oil (TEO) encapsulated in electrospun zein fibers for use in bilayer films as active packaging for cherry tomatoes. The antimicrobial activity of TEO and bilayer films with 20%, 40%, and 60% TEO was assessed with agar diffusion and microatmosphere assays.

Hop production in a low‐trellis espalier system in the subtropical environment

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND Hop cultivation (Humulus lupulus L.) is expanding into new regions, particularly under subtropical conditions. Traditionally, hop plants are trained using high‐trellis systems; however, a low‐trellis espalier structure may reduce establishment costs, facilitate phytosanitary management, and improve harvest uniformity.

Evaluation of food safety in the handling of home enteral nutrition based on a new contamination risk classification: A cross‐sectional study

Nutrition in Clinical Practice, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Home enteral nutrition (HEN) offers clinical benefits and is increasingly used, although handling‐related health risks remain unclear. This study assessed food safety in HEN using a new contamination risk classification. Methods First, the inter‐rater reliability of the Food Safety for Handling HEN checklist was analyzed in 25 ...

Microbiological safety in the reuse of materials in home enteral nutrition: A quantitative in vitro experimental study

Nutrition in Clinical Practice, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction In home enteral nutrition (HEN), the reuse of packaging and administration materials beyond the recommended period, combined with inadequate hygiene practice, increase the risk of microbiological contamination. This study assessed the risk through a simulation that reproduced real‐world usage conditions and hygiene practices ...
