Spinach (Spinacia oleracea) as green manure modifies the soil nutrients and microbiota structure for enhanced pepper productivity

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2023
Spinach has been suggested as a potential rotation crop for increasing crop yield by enhancing beneficial fungal microbes in continuous monocropping. However, no research on the use of spinach as a green manure has been reported.

Is it more convenient to waste? Trade‐offs between grocery shopping and waste behaviors

open access: yesAgricultural Economics, Volume 53, Issue S1, Page 75-89, November 2022., 2022
Abstract Efforts to reduce food loss and waste are being made across the supply chain, with households targeted as one of the most wasteful nodes in the chain. In this article, we consider the impact of changing one household food management behavior: grocery shopping. Households that shop more frequently typically incur less food waste.

Role of Metals Content in Spinach in Enhancing the Conductivity and Optical Band Gap of Chitosan Films

open access: yesAdvances in Materials Science and Engineering, 2015
Blend of chitosan and spinach extract has been successfully prepared using acetic acid as a solvent medium to produce chitosan-spinach films. The conductivity measurements showed that chitosan-spinach films for all ratios of 95 : 5, 90 : 10, 85 : 15, and

Consumption of healthy and unhealthy foods by the African poor: Evidence from Nigeria, Tanzania, and Uganda

open access: yesAgricultural Economics, Volume 53, Issue 6, Page 870-894, November 2022., 2022
Abstract We use national Living Standards Measurement Study (LSMS) datasets from Nigeria, Tanzania, and Uganda to examine consumption by the rural and urban poor of “unhealthy foods” (including ultra‐processed foods such as sweets and sugary beverages) versus “healthy foods” beyond starchy staples (such as vegetables, beans, animal products, and fruits)

TOTAL FLAVONOID DETERMINATION AND ANTIOXIDANT ACTIVITY STUDY OF SPINACH (Amaranthus tricolor L.) RED GITI AND GREEN GITI VARIETY

open access: yesJurnal Farmasi Sains dan Praktis, 2020
Antioxidants in the form of total flavonoids are compounds that can stabilize free radicals. The mechanism of antioxidants in stabilizing free radicals is give the lack electron of free radicals and inhibit the formation of free radical formation that ...

Feedback control optimisation of ESR experiments [PDF]

open access: yesJ. Magn. Reson. 297, 9-16 (2018), 2017
Numerically optimised microwave pulses are used to increase excitation efficiency and modulation depth in electron spin resonance experiments performed on a spectrometer equipped with an arbitrary waveform generator. The optimisation procedure is sample-specific and reminiscent of the magnet shimming process used in the early days of nuclear magnetic ...

Effects of spinach nitrate on insulin resistance, endothelial dysfunction markers and inflammation in mice with high-fat and high-fructose consumption

open access: yesFood & Nutrition Research, 2016
Background: Insulin resistance, which is associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality, has become a leading nutrition problem. Inorganic nitrate enriched in spinach has been demonstrated to reverse the pathological features

Plasma-Activated Water Affects the Antioxidant Contents in Water Spinach

open access: yesApplied Sciences, 2023
Several studies suggested that plasma-activated water (PAW) increases crop yields and confronts drought. This study determined the total phenolic (TP) and total flavonoid (TF) contents of water spinach to elucidate whether PAW induced changes in the ...
