Economic approaches to measuring labor exploitation in agriculture: A systematic literature review of indicators and methodologies

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract Agriculture remains highly vulnerable to labor exploitation, affecting almost two million workers worldwide and drawing increasing attention, particularly within the framework of Sustainable Development Goal 8 of the United Nations 2030 Agenda. However, the informal nature of exploitation and fragmented data complicate its analysis.

Modulation of oxidative metabolism and quality preservation of strawberries by a CMC–alginate bilayer edible coating during cold storage

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND Strawberries are highly perishable fruits characterized by rapid postharvest deterioration, leading to significant quality losses and reduced marketability. In this study, a bilayer edible coating based on carboxymethylcellulose and sodium alginate was evaluated for its ability to preserve strawberry quality during cold storage ...

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.

Styrene and its natural analogues: accumulation and sustainable production methods

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract Styrene, also known as vinyl benzene, is a colourless, highly volatile petrochemical that serves as a key monomer in the production of polystyrene and styrene‐butadiene rubber. Its industrial synthesis via the alkylation of benzene with ethylene relies on fossil fuels, requiring high temperatures and toxic catalysts that contribute to ...

Unveiling chemical composition of peppermint oil and its bioactivities compared with (R)‐(+)‐limonene: antimicrobial, antibiofilm, and insecticidal perspectives

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND Peppermint (Mentha piperita L.) essential oil (MPEO) is recognized for its broad‐spectrum antimicrobial properties and potential applications in food preservation. This study aimed to determine whether the bioactivity of MPEO is attributable to (R)‐(+)‐limonene or whether the complete essential oil provides higher efficacy due to ...
