Thermal extraction and characterization of pectin from semi‐solid by‐products of the olive oil industry

open access: yesJournal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND The valorization of agro‐industrial by‐products is crucial for promoting sustainability and circular economy. Olive mill semi‐solid by‐products (OMSbP), also known as alperujo, contain valuable bioactive compounds, including pectin, which can be extracted and used in food applications.

Carbon footprint for farms in the Czech Republic: a benchmark‐based assessment

open access: yesJournal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND Climate change is a pressing environmental and social challenge that demands effective monitoring of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. One widely adopted approach for this is quantifying the carbon footprint (CF). Given that agriculture is a major contributor to GHG emissions, we have developed a comprehensive framework for CF ...

SemanticSugarBeets: A Multi-Task Framework and Dataset for Inspecting Harvest and Storage Characteristics of Sugar Beets [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv
While sugar beets are stored prior to processing, they lose sugar due to factors such as microorganisms present in adherent soil and excess vegetation. Their automated visual inspection promises to aide in quality assurance and thereby increase efficiency throughout the processing chain of sugar production. In this work, we present a novel high-quality

Sugar Beet Fertilization

open access: yesSugar Tech, 2010
Global sugar beet production spans diverse regions and a wide range of climatic and agroecological regions from rainfed to irrigated production which presents unique management challenges. Sound nutrient management now and into the future must be balanced between production efficiency and managing to have less impact on the environment.

Life Cycle Assessment in a Nutshell—Best Practices and Status Quo for the Plastic Sector

open access: yesMacromolecular Rapid Communications, Volume 46, Issue 8, April 2025.
Life cycle assessment (LCA) is a state‐of‐the‐art methodology to quantify the environmental impacts of products and technologies and therefore can be used as a tool to improve environmental sustainability. This perspective presents an introduction for the non‐experts discussing important steps and aspects of LCA focusing on the plastic sector along the
