Extraction Processes, Bioaccessibility, Antioxidant Capacity, and Potential Prebiotic Effect of Co-Product Extracts From Fruits of the Spondias Genus. [PDF]
ABSTRACT This study evaluated which extraction methods among agitation (ethanol and water, 60 min), ultrasonic bath–assisted (ethanol and water, 15 min), and supercritical fluid extraction (CO₂ and ethanol, 40°C, 15 Mpa) would be superior for producing co‐product extracts from seriguela (Spondias purpurea), caja (Spondias mombin), and umbu‐caja ...

Litter Dynamics and Nutrient Stocks in a Chronosequence of Hyperxerophilous Forest Under the Effect of Clear Felling. [PDF]
We investigated litter accumulation and nutrient stocks across a forest regeneration chronosequence in hyperxerophilous Caatinga following clear‐cutting. Using multivariate statistics and structural decomposition indices, we identified functional litter profiles and their association with nutrient cycling and soil resilience. Our findings highlight how

Pest categorisation of Paracoccus marginatus
Abstract The EFSA Panel on Plant Health performed a pest categorisation of Paracoccus marginatus (Hemiptera: Sternorrhyncha: Pseudococcidae), the papaya scale, for the EU. It is native to Central America and since the 1990s, it has spread rapidly in mainly tropical areas of the Caribbean, islands in the Indian and Pacific Oceans, Africa and southern ...

Careyarboside A: A New Flavan‐3‐ol Glycoside from the Stems of Careya arborea (Lecythidaceae)
A new flavan‐3‐ol glycoside, compound 1 (careyarboside A), was isolated from the ethanol extract of the stems of Careya arborea, together with six known compounds. Of these, three phenolic glycosides (leonuriside A, picraquassioside D, and careyarboside B) have never been previously isolated from genus Careya and family Lecythidaceae.
