Almond Shell‐Derived Cellulosic Microfibres: Extraction, Characterisation and Applications in Sustainable Paper‐Based Packaging

open access: yesPackaging Technology and Science, Volume 39, Issue 10, Page 1231-1251, October 2026.
Cellulosic microfibres were extracted from almond shells using organosolv, soda and kraft processes, and comprehensive physicochemical, surface, thermal and morphological characterisation demonstrated their strong potential as sustainable fillers for paper‐based packaging application. ABSTRACT This study develops pathways for the valorisation of almond

Forecasting and Explaining Ethanol Price Through Shapley Additive Explanations: Evidence From Two Decades of Panel Agroeconomic Data in Brazil

open access: yesGCB Bioenergy, Volume 18, Issue 10, October 2026.
Explainable AI reveals how biological feedstock quality, energy markets, and policy factors jointly shape ethanol price dynamics. Deep learning improves forecasting accuracy while identifying sugarcane quality (TRS), gasoline prices, taxation, and macroeconomic variables as key drivers in a major bioenergy system.

A Spatial Clustering Approach of Economic Activities: An Application to the Agribusiness Sector in Brazil's Midwest Region

open access: yesGeographical Analysis, Volume 58, Issue 4, October 2026.
ABSTRACT The spatial distribution of economic activities is central to regional economics. However, empirical tools for comparing industries based on the similarity of their spatial distributions remain limited. Traditional cluster analysis typically ignores geographical distance and connectivity, while spatial methods focus on clustering places rather

A Solvent‐Free Approach for the Mechanochemical Upcycling of Bio‐ and Fossil‐Based Polyesters Into Value‐Added Chemicals and Bio‐Based Plasticizers

open access: yesChemSusChem, Volume 19, Issue 17, 14 September 2026.
Mechanochemical upcycling of bio‐ and fossil‐based polyesters with alcohols and amines using MeONa as the catalyst selectively produces synthetically useful diesters and diamides, giving only alcohols as byproducts. This green and efficient protocol is readily scalable and can be transferred to the upcycling of polyester‐based postconsumer waste ...

Harnessing plant‐based platform for low‐cost cellulosic sugar recovery from bioenergy crops

open access: yesBiofuels, Bioproducts and Biorefining, Volume 20, Issue 5, Page 2106-2121, September/October 2026.
Abstract The price of pure cellulase enzyme for the recovery of fermentable cellulosic sugars is one of the major challenges that limit the commercialization of second‐generation biofuels and bio‐based products. This work shows a means to greatly reduce the cost of cellulases. The abundant capacity of plants to synthesize and hyperaccumulate transgenic

Effects of Rosemary, Citronella, and Tea Tree Essential Oils on Fermentation Characteristics and Aerobic Stability of Sorghum Silage

open access: yesFood Science &Nutrition, Volume 14, Issue 9, September 2026.
Rosemary, citronella, and tea tree essential oils were evaluated as natural additives for sorghum silage at four inclusion levels (0, 500, 1000, and 2000 mg kg−1 of fresh forage). Rosemary essential oil improved fermentation by increasing crude protein while reducing ammonia nitrogen and butyric acid concentrations.
