Impact of climate‐induced compositional shifts of ethanol and acidity on aroma release and perception in red wine: a case study on γ‐nonalactone and massoia lactone

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND Climate change‐driven warming is increasing wine ethanol, promoting an atypical convergence between pH and titratable acidity (TA), and favouring the accumulation of specific wine volatiles: γ‐nonalactone (γ‐C9) and massoia lactone (MLac).

The effect of light supplementation on the changes in outer and inner fruit quality of different Selenicereus spp. cultivars

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND Selenicereus spp., belonging to the Cactaceae family, produces pitaya, a fruit recognized for its exotic appearance and rich phytochemical composition. In regions with shorter photoperiods, flowering and fruit development are limited, making light supplementation a promising strategy.

Cross‐regional and temporal generalizability of portable visible spectroscopy for olive maturity classification

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND Olive maturity governs lot destination and the yield–quality trade‐off in olive oil production, yet it is still monitored by subjective visual scoring of the Jaén index. Spectroscopic alternatives have relied mainly on near‐infrared instruments, with scarce evidence from Brazilian orchards and almost no evaluation of spatial or ...

Hop production in a low‐trellis espalier system in the subtropical environment

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND Hop cultivation (Humulus lupulus L.) is expanding into new regions, particularly under subtropical conditions. Traditionally, hop plants are trained using high‐trellis systems; however, a low‐trellis espalier structure may reduce establishment costs, facilitate phytosanitary management, and improve harvest uniformity.
